In memory of Benny

Benny was originally from Cats Protection Belfast, where at a few months old he jumped out from his pen onto my chest and picked me! At 4 years old, Benny embarked on a big journey when he moved to London. Not a fan of the outdoors or cold, city life was a dream for Benny where he could sit on the windowsill and watch from above. Benny also became a connoisseur of fine foods. Although he enjoyed his grandma's cooking, Benny loved nothing more than sampling all the cuisines from around the world that the city had to offer. He was particularly fond of Donner kebabs, Greggs steak bakes and Chinese BBQ sauce (where you'd often hear him lapping it up before you saw him). However, his very favourite was when his mummy baked homemade croissants and cooked yummy Brussel sprouts at Christmas, thus giving him the title of The Croissant King. Benny will be greeted at the rainbow bridge by his best friend, Shaney the Black Labrador, where they can finally reunite and watch over us until we meet again.
