Benny The Surrogate Cat Dad

Benny gets the most joy when his human mom brings home rescued kittens, so he can help look after them and show them the same love that he received when he was rescued. Whenever Ellen brings home an orphan baby (or a box of babies), Benny anticipates their arrival and is filled with excitement. He becomes their dedicated surrogate dad, and his fatherly instinct kicks in the moment he sees a kitten.

I miss my boy

I don't want to be that guy that posts facebook status' looking for attention. But I just miss my boy so much and I just want it out there.

I miss his little purrs and how he would push his hardest against my fingers when I scratched his chin. I miss his little claws and how even after years he still kneaded when he was getting comfy. I miss how he always got into the same spots under the blanket. I miss how he would hide and he wouldn't come out or make a sound until you made eye contact with him and then it was like "you found me! your reward is you get to cuddle me forever" I miss how he would get grumpy and sit away from me with his back turned, but if you moved or changed rooms, he would follow you and plop himself down in the same position. He wanted to ignore you. But he wanted you to know you were being ignored. I miss people cooing at him, calling him a pretty boy and and giving him pets and watching his reactions as they didn't do it just right. He'd always come to me afterwards. "That was nice but do it the GOOD way."

But most of all I miss how he waited for me to get home. The moment I'd walk in the door he'd be standing there, waiting for me to walk in. And I'd say "Hey Buddy" and he'd meow back and it was the first thing that showed me I was home. Today is the first day ill be "returning" by myself without him sitting there. It was like his whole world revolved around me, he'd walk me out and be waiting for when I returned.

And I let him fall. I lost my little man because I was careless and preoccupied. And now my little boy is gone forever.

I'll miss him every single day.

I hate my new home because he isn't there. And I'm scared all I'm going to think about when I look at the balcony is my boy falling and not having me there to save him. I hope he wasn't scared. I hope it didn't hurt.

I'll miss him every time I come home
