Read the paragraph. Barney was a black male cat who used to live in our barn. But it wasn't long before Barney decided that the people feeding him every day
might be worth knowing. So he "moved in" now and then to snooze on an overstuffed chair, to wash himself on a soft rug, to climb into a lap for a
little petting, or to get an occasional handout after the people-dinner. Most nights, though, Barney preferred to stay outside prowling the area,
investigating new smells from the passers-by during the day, threatening the field mice who scampered at night, and keeping trespassers in the
form of other cats out of his territory.
