i never thought I would be a cat person...always had dogs growing up then went away to university and felt a void without my doggies.. so i got a cat because they were easier to care for, i couldnt handle the responsibilities of having a dog with my hectic schedule back then. Now I couldn't imagine living without Benson! He is definitely quite vocal, but I can't tell you how many comments I receive on how much like a dog he acts. He enjoys eating too.
