Introducing Barbara, an eye-catching cat with a strong demeanor that has gained the admiration of more than 57,000 followers on Instagram. Though she may come across as distant, this feline is actually quite fond of her owner. Previously called Belle, she was one of the foster cats under the care of animal welfare advocate Beth Stern before being taken in by Sarah Borok and becoming a sensation online. As Sarah puts it, Barbara’s mood can shift from complete dissatisfaction to total affection, making her very flexible when it comes to posing for photos.
Barbara, the feline star of social media, has gained a massive following of 57,000 due to her piercing gaze that could make anyone quiver.
The ability of a feline to stare at the camera with an intense and fierce gaze has turned into an art form.
Barbara, who was previously called Belle, used to be a foster cat with Beth Stern, an actress and animal rights activist before being adopted by Sarah Borok. She enjoys receiving lots of attention and love from her owner throughout the day, but tends to become aggressive towards anyone else who enters the house. Although Barbara is now extremely affectionate and adoring towards her owner, things weren’t always so easy-going. When Sarah first took her in, Barbara would often attack her violently. However, over time, she has developed an intense love for her owner, to the point where she cannot fall asleep without Sarah by her side. In fact, Barbara will even snuggle up to Sarah and follow her every time she moves during the night.
@grumpybarbara, the Instagram page featuring a perpetually unhappy-looking cat, is gaining popularity for its collection of photos showing the feline either glaring menacingly at the camera or being doted on by its affectionate owner.
Sarah’s newly adopted cat was initially unfriendly towards her, but as time passed, the kitty has grown to have a strong affection for her.
Sarah admitted that her beloved pet is always up for some snuggles and affection, but the moment a stranger enters their dwelling, she transforms into a ferocious creature and may even lash out.
Barbara might appear intimidating, but Sarah insists that her feline friend is actually very affectionate. Sarah reveals that Barbara loves to snuggle up close and even rests her head on Sarah’s arm when they sleep. Nevertheless, Barbara can have her moments of grumpiness and clawing. Once, Sarah even shared a photo of red marks caused by Barbara’s sharp claws. To tackle this problem, the ASPCA recommends seeking guidance from experts since dealing with aggressive behavior in cats can be difficult. An extensive medical checkup is advisable as some cats may exhibit hostility owing to underlying health problems.
It’s pretty funny: in a snapshot captured in the year 2019, there’s a feline cozied up next to a notepad that bears the phrase “I loathe everything” on one of its sheets.
Sarah shared that Barbara enjoys snuggling with her when they hit the sack, and even adjusts herself when Sarah moves while sleeping.
Are you feeling comfy? Barbara loves to relax on Sarah’s chest and stretch out her paws when she’s not cuddled up on her arm.
Barbara, a cat with a multi-faceted personality, has captured the hearts of numerous fans who love her contradictory traits. Despite her perpetually grumpy expression, Barbara is known to be very affectionate. Sarah, an animal advocate, is responsible for managing Barbara’s Instagram account, @grumpybarbara, which showcases various photos highlighting the cat’s ability to glare and cuddle. Barbara loves snuggling up on Sarah’s arm, lying on her owner’s chest, and stretching out her paws, even if it means resting them on Sarah’s face. One photo shows Barbara sleeping next to a notebook that reads “I Hate Everything,” while another features her peeking out from the space between Sarah’s arm and head as she sleeps. According to Sarah, Barbara’s popularity on social media can be attributed to her grumpy face, which adds depth to her character and makes her a role model for millions of women.
