Eight Years with Benji

“How time flies when you’re having a good time, right Benji?”

“I always have a good time, Sue! What exactly do you mean?”

“I can’t believe it’s already been eight years since we brought you home from Seattle Humane. You were so tiny then! And the most photogenic cat I’ve ever had despite your scruffy ear.”

“I bet you say that to all your cats, Sue.”

“No, really, Benji. I mean it. You’re special. And those eyes!”

“You mean these?” he asked.

“Indeed, I do, Benji! So expressive!”

“Aw thanks, Sue.”

“I think it was your eyes that won you a spot in the International Cat Care calendar. Remember that? You were pinup kitty for the month of May 2020! I was so proud of you.”

“Aw thanks, Sue! I was happy to be your first published picture. Maybe we should try again! How about this?”

“That’s a winner, Benji! You’re the best.”

“Here’s to another eight years!”

  1. The best, most wonderful post I’ve seen all day. 😊❀️😻😻

  2. Happy Gotcha Day, Benji. You are so photogenic! I love your calendar photo especially. Here’s another 8 years with your lovely owner. xo

  3. I suppose 8 years makes Benji ‘middle aged’. But he certainly still looks full of life!

    Best wishes, Pete.

  4. Y’all are great collaborators! It took two, after all, to make that photo. Here’s to hoping for a long healthy life for you both, together!

  5. Happy eighth anniversary to you both πŸ₯‚πŸ˜» Benji is indeed really photogenic but I hadn’t realised till now that he was a pin-up!!

  6. Yay Benji! Happy 8th Gotcha Day! Foster is 8 also, and I looked it up, they are the equivalent of 48 in human years. πŸ˜€πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽπŸ±πŸ±

  7. Benji is adorable! Loving this story too. My rescued kitty is a cuddle-bug tooπŸ‘πŸΌ
