While vacationing in Dubai, a couple stumbled upon a little feline friend wandering the streets. What started as an impromptu decision to bring the cat back to America turned into a heartwarming journey for Benson, the Instagram sensation.
Benson seamlessly integrated into his new home, prompting his owners to launch the Instagram account a_street_cat_named_benson in March 2019. In a chat with BoredPanda, they shared how Benson’s natural flair for fashion became evident – he had a knack for striking a pose whenever a camera was around.
Initially experimenting with glasses, Benson not only tolerated the attention but seemed to relish it. His neutral expressions gave him an oddly human-like charm. Encouraged by their fashionable feline, the owners ventured into various outfits, discovering that Benson was up for anything, except shoes and socks.
The results? A flurry of funny and adorable photo shoots that quickly amassed over 170,000 followers on Instagram.
Beyond his stylish escapades, Benson proved to be an affectionate companion, faithfully following his owners around the house, from the moment they wake up to the time they head out for work. “When it’s time for my husband to be back, Benson sits by the door waiting,” shared one of Benson’s proud parents.
In his charmed post-street life, Benson has not only become an internet sensation but a strong contender for the title of the internet’s best-dressed cat!
