<div>My name is Steven Rogers. I'm a stand-up comedian and the proud owner of one of the most controversial creatures known to man: a hairless cat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His name is Bennie, and let me just say, GoFundMe doesn't allow me enough space to tell you how wrong I was about hairless cats.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're like I was before meeting him, you probably think they're ugly, scary, and basically snakes with legs. But this guy is living proof of how foolish that thinking is. Bennie has become my world just as much as I've become his.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, Bennie started having digestive issues that would even wake him up several times a night and have him groaning in pain. I took him to the vet several times. We changed his diet, checked for allergies, and ruled out parasites, but I could tell something was clearly wrong with my boy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of the things about having anxiety that really stinks is that sometimes you're right.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After an ultrasound, the doctors found several masses in Bennie's intestines. The good news is that his blood work and chest imaging came back clear. We're now waiting on multiple biopsies to tell us exactly what we're dealing with. While we don't have every answer yet, the doctors have prepared me for the possibility that we have a difficult fight ahead of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The biopsy is only the first step. No matter what the final diagnosis is, I'm preparing for additional medical care, treatment, medications, follow-up appointments, and whatever Bennie needs to give him the best chance possible. I'm asking for help because I want every decision I make from this point forward to be based on what's best for Bennie, not simply on what I can afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've never met Bennie, allow me to introduce you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What we're fighting for:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Someone who headbutts me awake every morning (before my alarm).
</li>
<li>A guy who's obsessed with running on his giant hamster wheel.
</li>
<li>Someone who spooks anyone who looks in my windows.
</li>
<li>An unapologetic attention hog.
</li>
<li>Someone who treats keyboards like they're just another place to sit.
</li>
<li>The little guy who makes me want to cancel everything so he can keep sleeping on my lap.
</li>
<li>Someone who loves proving you wrong about hairless cats.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Honorable mentions:
</div>
<ul>
<li>His ability to sprint out of my apartment no matter how far away he was when I checked.
</li>
<li>How often he messes with his sister Bowie, and when she slaps him it sounds like she slapped a human face.
</li>
<li>How he tugs on my shirt when he wants me to cover him up.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're not able to donate, just sharing this page would mean the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yes, for most people this is a post asking you to donate to a cat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those who have had a chance to meet Bennie, this is a post asking you to help me fight for one of the biggest personalities I've ever known, and a guy that showed me that sometimes being wrong is the best thing that can ever happen to you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>
