Benny

Benny was my Aunt Audry's cat. She was always carrying Benny around the house or standing and stroking him with him in her arms. I have to admit that I did hear some unkind remarks sometimes about how Aunt Audry must be a witch because she has always got that black cat with her. My Aunt was not a witch or anything, she was a great lady always ready to help anyone with anything.
Benny is a good cat too, he still misses Aunt Audry she passed away three years ago (I miss her very much too.) He does not let me or anyone else pick him up to stroke him the way my Aunt used to. When I stroke him I have to get down on the floor with him and he purrs away. There is nothing wrong with black cats they are beautiful cats.
