Anakin
Banakin Benson is a loveable grump who sees stars everywhere and
this permeates his work, which is in fact the construct of a star. Like
most cats, he enjoys scratching the carpet with his claws in
disgruntlement with how the lack of cable TV has not resulted in
substantially more petting, stalking the string of my unraveling towel
when I get out of the shower in the morning in a daily attempt to distract
me from the inevitable commute on 422 eastbound toward Philadelphia,
pouncing on my ankles to bring my cell phone conversation down to a level
that he can meow his frustration, and when he is not pawing open my
eyelids at 5am, he is altogether sleeping his nights and days away in a
fetal position. He is special to me because I love him dearly, for no
reason apparent above. I'm blind about it, and of course there's nothing
that can be done. That aside, what makes Anakin a truly special cat is his
ability to manipulate church bells with a subtle twittering of his
whiskers - don't ask me how!
He was born somewhere in New Mexico and rescued, by a lost soul herself,
from a star adoption Human Society Animal Shelter in Las Cruces when he
was approximately two-years-of-age. I have had full custody since he was
approximately three-years-of-age. Most importantly, even though now surely
almost approximately perhaps five, it may now seem clear to you that
Anakin does not yet have a proper Birthday in which he and I can celebrate
together, sadly. Now that he is Cat of the Day, which we will accept as
Pet of the Year and celebrate Anakin's birth on that day, and for the
entire week, and then every year forever. This gives his beginning a date to celebrate!
