Ben was found on a farm with his brother Bill where they faced a sad life with what little food they could find for themselves and no human to care for them. When they first came into care they were very frightened but as much as they hissed they never tried to bite or scratch. Ben is now such a friendly boy and loves to be stroked and cuddled and is always ready with a very grateful purr. He is so cute, and rubs around my legs and flops down for belly rubs. I'd have to say that he is one of the gentlest cats with absolutely no clawing or mouthing us, even in play. He purrs when picked up and mostly comes when called, and really loves his food. It's been really rewarding seeing him go from hiding and hissing, to now being like any other cat. Ben has the biggest meow!!!!!
