A bit more personal recollections about our Benedict from his old friends in the neighborhood. Despite the thrashing by the MSM, how evil can a man be who has a secret collection of cat plates?

OK...I want to know how he talks to the cats! Feeding stray cats is not exactly the image the MSM has portrayed, is it?
To: Antioch
Great story, being a cat man myself (easier to live with in apartments than dogs) I'm glad to read this about our Papa.

Personally I think collectors plates are a bit tacky, but his heart sure is in the right place.

Bavaria is the birthplace of kitsch. I used to get this catalogue of German decoritive items, and a fair amount of them were not exactly sophisticated.
Which just makes me like the man all the more...he doesn't have sophisicated decorating taste.
However, he loves Mozart, which is a good thing.

He does strike me as a very sweet and charming man, and I've gotta say that I'm relieved he decorates with cat plates rather than a 'Queer Eye'. Are Hummel figurines from Bavaria? I can't stand those things, athough I hate Precious Moments even more.
If the Pope ever takes me up on my dinner invitation, I'll see to it he doesn't leave without a personalized serving platter in the shape of my cat:

You can't get much more Catholic than Hummel figures :^)

My ex-SIL had about 300 and hundreds of dollars tied up in those Precious Moments things. They all looked the same.
Nice picture of your kitty. He does look a bit emaciated though. Do you think you are feeding him enough?
