Norie

Norie Bartek was very loved to say the least. His government name was Norris and he lived every day like Chuck Norris..some may say he outlived him too. He was not your ordinary house cat. He had a house full of girls and a 113 pound dog brother named Jack. Even though Norie was quite smaller than Jack you’d never know it. Norie was very much the boss at all times and the MAN of the house. He was known to mess with house guests if you stayed at Casa de Bartek. He had peed in a purse, tried to steal and eat dollar bills straight from a wallet, and was known to slap a shampoo bottle at 2 am into an empty tub and make it sound like a bomb went off. If we went on vacation he knew he could cause chaos for any babysitter except his grandmother. We aren’t sure how she mesmerized him- but she made a lasting impression on his black heart. We will miss him scaling the fridge so he could be the highest in the room and communicating through ponytails in his food bowl to let us know where there was food missing. We know he’s in heaven looking in a mirror at himself and we hope someone is telling him how beautiful he is- he loves to hear it. Cheers to the silliest cat who ever lived with a personality larger than life.
