Meet Benito
WARNING: WILL DROOL IF PETTING FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES. Bentio is the biggest softie who only wants cuddles and lovin. Treats are yummy, but pets are even better for this guy! He will follow you around in hopes you give him some attention, but will watch you casually if you're trying to accomplish a task such as cleaning or work. Benito has a playful side too, strings are the best toy ever and this boy is a hunter! He has quick instincts and will track his prey with crazy accuracy, but if he notices you're open to petting him that rearranges his priorities. He can be shy when meeting new people, but warms up quickly (especailly with his favourite brush in hand). His temperament is very predictable, and he tolerates a lot of weird antics. He is wary of kisses (head coming close to him and the noise), but is getting more and more comfortable with them and has even head booped a few times. Benito takes a couple days to adjust to new things, but is a very brave boy who tries his best to please. Anyone who has this angel in their home is sure to feel loved 1000x over.
Benito has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), so he can get a stuffed nose at times and be sneezy. He snores a bit when sleeping, but you'll know where he is where ever he chooses to nap! FIV is rarely transmitted through shared bowls and water, however it is something to note if you have an FIV negative cat in the household. It is typically transmitted through saliva in deep bites, and other than the occasional snotty nose, Benito is a healthy, happy boy!
