Benedict is a striking black boy with the most soulful eyes in the litter — and he wants you to know he is watching you. He is the most cautious of the six, the first to spot potential trouble and the last to let his guard down. But here's the thing about Benedict: the patience is absolutely worth it. Once he decides you're safe, he transforms into a purring, biscuit-making, deeply affectionate little shadow. His purrs are loud and his trust, once earned, is total. He loves playing with his siblings and does best when he has animal companions around to help him feel secure. A home with a calm dog or other cats would be ideal — animals have a way of helping Benedict relax in ways that humans alone sometimes can't. If you're the kind of person who loves earning a shy cat's trust and experiencing that magical moment when they finally choose you, Benedict will be one of the most rewarding cats you've ever had.
