Breakfast Guest

Benny is a creature of habit.  One of the things he does every morning is pull up a chair at the breakfast table.  Every morning, without fail, when I am getting breakfast ready, he hops up into his chair and makes himself comfortable.  What always cracks me up is how he sits on the chair.  One leg always hangs through the back of the chair and as he relaxes his tail always uncurls and hangs down as well.

Once he has settled, Benjamin has a clear view of all the food on the table.  He watches everything we eat and sometimes he rests his head on the glass if we are eating foods he knows he doesn’t get.  But, if a banana is cracked open, Benny perks up and waits for his share.

After breakfast is finished, Benjamin inevitably succumbs to his sleepiness and sprawls out on the chair.
