Introducing your cat to a new kitten can be a stressful experience for everyone involved since you never know how either one of them will react. Benni is an adult cat who lived as an only child, um we mean cat, with his humans. They knew he was lonely and enjoyed playing with other cats, so they decided to get him a friend.
They brought home an adorable kitten that they named Vinnie. Benni was curious about the kitten at first, but not sure what to make of the tiny bundle of energy. Slowly but surely, the two became besties, and it’s so heartwarming to watch it happen!

Benni and Vinnie are just adorable, and our hearts can’t take all of this cuteness! I can’t wait the kitten grow up with such a great big brother and best friend and love watching the two of them together! Commenter @Monique Nawacki said it best, “Those two were meant to be together!”

Commenter Reactions to the Lonely Cat Getting a Friend
People had a lot to say about Benni and Vinnie’s budding friendship and left thousands of comments sharing their own experiences. @Babu admitted, “I also got my lonely cat a kitten and then I got the kitten a kitten and that kitten a kitten…ended up with 8.”
@Making Messes didn’t have the same experience, unfortunately, “I got my lonely cat a kitten and she hates him, now I gotta get my second lonely cat a kitten.” Another commenter shared, “I wasn’t in the market for a kitten, but then I found this little turd on the side of the road, and now my cat has a kitten!”
Others couldn’t get enough of the cuteness. @Polly pointed out, “First two clips LOL! The offended look and smelling nose! I love how he got progressively more relaxed and accepted the kitten.” @katieannpedirn shared, “You got me, now I’m in for the ride. #CatLover.”
Our favorite comment, though, was, “The older cat looks like he’s eaten a bag of Cheetos with the orange around his mouth! So sweet!” Benni’s mom replied, laughing, “He gets that a lot! LOL!”
