Everybody, please meet Benny.

[crim son]

My daughter went to a local fair this weekend and came back with a surprise:



He was covered with fleas but now he's all cleaned up and ready for action. He has extra toes! (opposable thumbs, sorta) and he's such a sweetheart :)
My son wants me to post this one too:

[LaurenG]

1. Congratulations!

what a sweet face Benny has!:toast:

[crim son]

2. Thank you!

He does, doesn't he? We have another cat, Maximouse, who is rather aloof. Benny will complement him nicely.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Congratulation to the new family member

you will now be ruled by him!!! What a cutiepie :loveya:

[crim son]

4. I saw a pic of you yesterday holding your

new sweetheart. Kitties are so cute, aren't they?

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Unfortunately he isn't my cat

but MissAirmens' I was so lucky to be around him some days :D


And kittens are the cutest and most loveable creatures around.

[crim son]

21. Oh, I knew he wasn't yours! You've been traveling &

I've been reading about it. I agree about kittens. But puppies too... I don't like dogs, but if they stayed puppies I might!

[MissHoneychurch]

29. All those kitten pics

and hanging around kittens made me want a cat again really bad. Maybe I give in to the urge one day. I just know that I am gone over the weekends so often it wouldn't be fair to the cat.

[crim son]

32. It's probably a good idea to hold off then.

Well, good things are worth the wait, both for you and Mr./Ms. Kitten Right!

[MissMillie]

5. What a lucky little puss!

And you're pretty lucky too.. he looks sweet and loveable.

[crim son]

15. It's true. We've had some bad luck in the past

bringing home cats/kittens. I think Benny's a winner though :)

[livetohike]

6. What a little cutie!

I love that look Benny is giving your son. You all will have years of happiness together :-).

[crim son]

16. I think he loves to love.

Kitties are so good at that.

[ThomCat]

7. Hi Benny!

:hi:

Such a cute little kitty. Yes you are. Yes you are. Aren't you such a cute little kitty. :silly:

[crim son]

17. You're such a wierdo.

How's your head today?

[ThomCat]

23. I'm feeling much better today.

Today I'm just exhausted. I can muddle through exhaustion. :)

Yes, guilty as charged. I'm a weirdo. :P

[crim son]

26. But at least you spell the word correctly.

Excuse my lapse. Glad you're feeling better :hug:

[ThomCat]

30. LOL. I ignore spelling errors.

I'm usually in no position to throw stones. :rofl:

So are you covered in bloody claw marks yet from the kitten climbing you? :7

[crim son]

31. I have a few on my legs, yes.

What I'm looking forward to is when he realizes that the leather couch smells GREAT! and puts a whole new set of punctures in it. I was so upset when Maximouse did it, but now I'm cool B-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Benny's so cute!

:hi: :loveya: He needed to be rescued. :hug: I'm glad your daughter brought him home!

[crim son]

25. Me too.

There were only two left of eight, so she got one of the least cute, presumably. He's so unbelievably adorable and friendly. Her friend took the other, so the whole litter has been adopted. Yay!

[Arugula Latte]

9. Aw! I love polydactyls.

We had one when I was a kid and she was such a sweet, intelligent kitty. This one looks that way, too. And look at that little pink/white tummy. What I wouldn't give to smooch that little soft kitten belly! (Especially now that it's flea free!) :loveya:

I'm so glad Benny has a good home! :applause:

[crim son]

13. That's what it's called? Polydactyl?

I love it too! He even has a tiny toe w/a claw between his "thum" and the other four, which is all the better for climing velvet curtains...

[Arugula Latte]

33. Yep -- Here's a little info.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

37. Here's some more.

[crim son]

40. Oh geez, thanks!

Now I'm going to have to keep Benny locked in the basement at night. Ewwwwww.

[zanne]

48. I have a bobtail polydactyl kitty.

He was a stray; I first saw him in the woods near my house. I thought he's had a terrible accident or something when I saw the two-inch tail and the enormous paws with thumbs. When I finally got him to come to me and took him to the vet's, I found out that he was supposed to look that way!

[Arugula Latte]

51. "bobtail polydactyl" -- that has a nice ring to it

I'm going to name my band that. But first I have to learn how to play an instrument decently...

[miss_american_pie]

10. He's adorable

:hi:

[crim son]

20. I know. He fits right in with the rest of us, lol.

STBE doesn't want him, so he's going to move to my house with me!

[Liberalynn]

11. What a sweet looking

boy Benny is! Congrats to your family on it's new member.

[LiberalHeart]

12. Years ago I had a calico with toes like that. Named her Toe-Toe.

[crim son]

14. Aww. Toe-Toe. That's so cute.

Benny came with a name and we didn't want to change it, although he really looks like a Gordon to me.

[Guava Jelly]

18. cute as hell crim son

Hope all is well with you?
and godd afternoon
:):hi:

[crim son]

22. It is a godd afternoon, sweetie.

:D Actually I have had some flu bug for days, but today I'm better. The new kitty is exceedingly cheering! How're you?

[Guava Jelly]

24. doing great and typing like shit as always

And my lunch break is over in about another 90 seconds :(
I am glad you are feeling better
:)

[crim son]

27. Dupe - deleted!

[crim son]

28. Oh, I was just joking.

I'm the last one to be critical.

Have a happy :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

39. Oh i know you were Crimmey :o)

:loveya:

[LynneSin]

34. Congratulations - You've been adopted

:woohoo:

[crim son]

41. Yep, because some kitten

really wanted us!

[LynneSin]

43. Kittens know good people when they find them

So any question about your goodness has been put to rest - the Kitten has defined it

[crim son]

44. Thank you Benny!

Because I wasn't sure.

[LynneSin]

47. Abbott proved me to be a good person

Someone just tossed him away and he permamently moved into my home declaring it was his own. However, Evita is still unsure of my qualities and sometimes claims the "I was taken hostage" situation (she was ferrel for 3 years)

[Haole Girl]

35. Before I clicked on this topic, I made a little wish that Benny...

...would be a kitten. Thank you for this. I really needed to see the sweet face of a little kitty right now. and, what a great face he has! :)

[crim son]

38. I'm very happy that Benny can offer you a moment

of pleasure. He's as dear as he looks and we just discovered that he's also an incredible acrobat :hug: for KC2

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear crim son!

Oh my god, how cute Benny is!

He is soooo lucky to have been adopted by your family!

Have fun......kittens have amazing amounts of energy!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

:loveya: :hug:

[crim son]

42. I'm starting to notice that.

We've kept him in the bathroom during the de-flea-ing process, but now that he's out, he's having a blast. Feats of jumping like I've never before seen! (in such a tiny, wee fella)

[Left Is Write]

45. Hi, Benny!

[crim son]

49. Hiya, Left Is Write!

Benny salues you. With the velvet paw.

[graywarrior]

46. Adorable

:loveya:

[crim son]

50. And according to Wikipedia, he may have

"special skills" because of his opposable thumbs. :think:

[buddhamama]

52. Benny is sweet.

[xchrom]

53. woo-hoo! benny has a new home!

[WCGreen]

55. Let him breed so that someday, the cat people will rule the world...
