Benjamin the Loyal:
Ben is the most overtly loving of our cats but also the most ornery, he is a cat of
extremes, highly emotional and demanding.
If I am unwell he will lie on the bed beside me with a paw resting on my
arm and stay with me until I am better.
He will chase the other cats off in a proprietary huff if he feels they
are interfering with his doctoring duties.

As much as Ben adores me he is ultimately his papa’s
boy and the lovefest begins the moment Robert enters a room. Ben will literally throw himself on his back
presenting his tummy for stroking and will accept nothing but full attention
and praise. Any perfunctory pets will be
met with a disapproving nip, although he is quick to forgive these slip-ups.

I've noticed that often tuxie cats lean towards the male of the family. I wonder why that is...
Ben, speaking as a fellow doctor, I understand and appreciate how hard you work.
Love that picture of Ben on his papa's shoulder.
Aren't all their different personalities amazing!?
Our tuxie female, Tipper seems to have that proprietary thing going on too. Being the most loving cat is a serious job!
Ben does it perfectly! And he's cute, too.
You know if you have to be sick, there's nothing like a sweet kitty to help nurse you back to health! The most wonderful thing about cats is all their different personalities. So cute!

A fine example of catitude! :-)
Ben....your secret is out you have the roar of a lion but the heart of a lamb. What a sweet boy to look after you mom when she has the sickies. Ultimately you are doing what your Papa would do if he were there and you know your Papa would approve!!
hugs to you our sweet devote BEN
Madi and Mom
What a love! Ben, you get a gold star for being such a good doctor and caretaker. Our Tuxie boy is a devoted mamas boy, even though todays post has him hanging out with his daddy.
Awww Ben ~ such a handsome boy. xx
Aww, those photos are so sweet.
We just love Ben's little face - he is so cute.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You are very, very special Ben!
Oh Ben, you sound like such a good boy, love the Mom and the Dad too. Cats are supposed to demand attention. How else would we get the attention that we need. Hope all of you have a great day.
I love tuxie white socks!
that Ben is a cutie...we are glad he loves his daddy so much. :)
Ben is a very complex kitty!
I guess it comes from being a Tuxedo cat. He can't be just normal.
Fun to be loved by him, I'm sure!
Ben sounds very much like Domino. I wonder if it's a tuxy thing. She is also very demanding of attention, although I must say she is more a Mommy's girl.
Ben is amazing in his dedication to both you and your husband (as you are with him).
Hello, Ben,
Let me tell you something, this is very confidential, really between you and me, ALL my cats are special to me, but...I have a small, very small, preference for tuxedos... I can't help it, I fall in love with every tuxie I meet... You are so special, so sweet, so handsome, so unique, so... ok, I will stop here, I also love black cats, grey cats, ginger cats,... but... tuxies are special!
Smoochies to you and your brothers!
looloo
What a sweetheart! And you have a scarf kitty too! I love that! There's nothing like a neck warmed by a kitty..
Ben is such a smart and handsome boy.. I mean mancat!

We have a Benjamin, too (actually, his name is really Benny, but our nickname for him is Benjamin Puppy Panda Boy, or Benjamin Bunyip). Your Benjamin looks just like our Benny.
Oh! I love tuxedo cats. What am I saying?! I love (and adore) ALL cats! Thanks for sharing these adorable photos of your Ben. He's a beautiful fella.
you are probably too young to remember this show but do you remember "Ben Casey?" Your kitty "Dr.Ben" is Ben Casey!! Cody also has a huge love affair with my husband, when it is ME who is the cat lover in our home!
Ben is very cute and smart: he's monitoring his human's activity on the last pic?

Ben, you are just a little love bug, aren't you??
Ben you are such a cute, adorable boy!!!!!
Ben você é muito carinhoso. E um ótimo enfermeiro.
You are such a sweet loving boy Ben.
Handsome and loving Ben sounds like our Moosey. He loves Tracey, but he is a real Daddy's boy when it comes down to it. :)
