Introducing little Ben – the Tiger Cub
Wow! Five years ago we brought Benji home from Seattle Humane to be a companion for Tiger. It was a perfect choice! Benji is still a livewire – scrappy, energetic and loads of fun – while the mellow Tiger has managed to hold his own. Here’s the story from 5 years ago in case you missed it back then. 🙂
Day 1 Sue here. As I sit in my office on the third floor of our home, Tiger is relaxing nearby. After a final deep cleaning behind the ears (who can sleep with dirty ears?) he’s ready to call it a day and drifts off into kittyland.
Little does he know that two levels below, there’s a little Tiger cub hiding under grandma’s bed. We visited Seattle Humane today and brought home a new kitty as a companion for Tiger. His name is Ben. Or Benji. We’ll see what sticks. He’s a 10 month old mini Tiger with golden almond eyes and a scruffy ear. Brown and gray like his new big brother. He came from the home of a hoarder, where he lived with 40 other cats. We picked him out when we saw him snuggle in the bosom of another sleeping cat. Ah, that’s the one, we said.

What a bright-eyed little guy Benji was, and still is! Tiger looks so peaceful and unsuspecting . . .
Yes, Benji was bright-eyed and full of life, ready to take on the world! Tiger was definitely unsuspecting, and still is to some degree! They’ve come a long way together and I love them both! 🙂 🙂
Such a sweet, beautiful kitty! ❤️😻
I must agree! Thanks so much! 🙂
I just checked, and I commented in 2016. Those 5 years went by so fast! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete! Yes indeed, you were one of the originals who followed! It really did go fast!
Great choice! I usually have multiple cats, but they never, ever sleep together. I’ve seen Gracie snuggling with our dog River, but never with another cat! So you chose well. ♥️
Tiger and Benji sleep together sometimes. There’s still some jealousy between them but they really are sweet boys. 😸😸
How adorable!
🙂
Happy Gotcha Day Benji !
Thanks so much! 😻😻
Happy Gotcha Day Benji!!!
Thank you!! 😻😻
aw what a sweet story…happy Anniversary
Thanks so much!
I clicked through to read your original post but I thought I’d leave my comment here. Benji looks so cute as a little one, and it’s lovely how he and Tiger have settled down together 🙂
Thanks so much. Benji is such a fun cat, we couldn’t have chosen better! And Tiger has been very tolerant of his pesky little brother. 😻😻

Sweet boys, both of them!
Thanks so much! 😻😻
