Hello, I'm Bennie

She is a total lover and possibly the cutest cat in the world. 

Bennie's Story

I think a lot of people suspected Bennie would be staying with me when I took her in as a foster three months prior to adopting her. I adopted my other cat, Hoff, and was asked to foster Bennie since they got along well and both benefit from having a playmate. I realized pretty early on that Bennie would be a difficult foster to give back to the adoption center, and I don't think Hoff would have allowed it. I've been telling people that Hoff is my cat and Bennie is his cat. He's frequently grooming Bennie and letting her beat him up, chase him, and steal his food. The two of them balance each other out really well. She is a total lover and possibly the cutest cat in the world. Unlike Hoff, she lets me pick her up and hug her, but she's still tough enough to deal with Hoff. Bennie has a lot of quirks, like all the best cats: she prefers her food to be warmed up in the microwave, she is the most mouthy when she wants to cuddle, her favorite toy is a cat chew stick that she goes completely crazy for, and she's fascinated and confused by the bathtub. She is the sweetest little girl and Hoff and I are happy to be make her a permanent part of the family.
