Abandoned Cat Finds A New Home And Becomes An Instagram Sensation With Its Cute Outfits (30 Pics)
Welcome everyone, today we’d like to introduce you to a very special kitty named Benson. Benson is a cat that was rescued and adopted directly from the streets and his quirky personality and cute outfits have made him a true internet celebrity. (Is cat influencer even a term?)
Since arriving at his new home, Benson has been taking over Instagram. The fluffy cat has an entire wardrobe filled with exclusive pieces of clothing that match the look of his home or the places he frequents. In other words, Benson has a whole wardrobe filled with seasonal clothes, and his pictures are sure to put a smile on your face!

Zoya Khan - I love Benson’s chic outfits. The People article says he doesn’t wear the same outfit twice. What do you do w/ these? Can someone, like my Princess Bisi 😻 get one? TY
Bored Panda reached out to Benson’s owners.
“We found Benson 5 years ago, he was roaming the streets of Dubai. His old family moved away and left him behind, so we adopted him and brought him to the USA.
He loves his dad and his tuna, he is quite a calm and patient kitten. After adopting Benson, we soon came to notice that every time a camera was pointed at him, he would stop moving and sit very still! However, taking videos of him got difficult and we tried our luck with some glasses. Benson took to them absolutely immediately."

"After a while, we got a little bold with clothes, and then even hats. He was sporting a whole look except for the shoes. He absolutely hates any type of socks and shoes. Every morning he waits for the alarm to ring and then he follows my husband around everywhere. He watches him get into his car and when it’s time for my husband to be back, Benson sits by the door waiting.”

"Look, you know it's crap, I know it's crap, but I've got 27 kittens to feed and I look good in a turban"
Some cats talk the talk (when it comes to mealtimes, that is), but Benson knows how to walk the walk, and to be honest, he might just be our new favorite runway model. Benson is a rescue that came all the way from Dubai, and embarked upon his journey into fashion after his owners noticed that he seemed to like wearing glasses. The cat would stay still for owners to take the pictures, and after that, they just decided to take it one step at a time and see how it goes.

"I tried to capture the fragility of life, the anonymity of existence in the big city. But feel free to enjoy it as a painting of a huge cat sitting on a bridge"

"If there's one thing I've learned from my late human, it's that the internet is the best source of medical advice"
We think most of us have noticed, that some cats might approve of a cosy pet store sweater or even a funny hat if the mood strikes, but Benson takes his wardrobe very seriously. For example, to combat the chilly weather, the cat's owners dress Benson in a parka, styled with a cute winter hat, or when it's a hot summer day you can see the fashionista cat rocking the beach outfits with some really serious sunglasses. Benson's outfits are definitely made to fit his haute cat-ture sense of style and bring out his unique personality!

The only thing that I've been happy about is that the CAT has been rescued. I honestly can't stand when people get excited over dressing up their cat into humans. Sorry... Not.

At best, the cat doesn’t mind. At worst, it’s suffering for our short lived, inane enjoyment.
