As for Benjamin’s lifestyle, it’s just as luxurious as Taylor’s. From gourmet meals to extravagant living conditions, Benjamin Button certainly enjoys a life of comfort and luxury.

Ta Miu

Taking care of cats is not a new trend. People have been pampering their pets for centuries. One example from ancient times is Ta Miu, a cat owned by Prince Thutmose, the eldest son of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye in 18th-century Egypt.

Ta Miu was so beloved by Thutmose that when the cat passed away, she was mummified and buried in a beautifully decorated sarcophagus, a true sign of royal treatment in ancient Egypt.

Tabby and Dixie

Former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln also had a special place in his heart for cats. During his presidency, Lincoln kept two cats named Tabby and Dixie at the White House.

Lincoln’s affection for his cats was so deep that he personally fed them using golden forks. He even joked that Dixie was smarter than his entire cabinet. Talk about feline royalty!

Snow Ball

Famous American author Ernest Hemingway was another notable cat lover. He had a polydactyl cat named Snow Ball, which means the cat had six toes on each paw.

Hemingway adored Snow Ball and treated the cat with great care and affection. Snow Ball’s unusual trait made the cat even more special to Hemingway, who was known for his love of animals.

So, it seems that Bobby Kertanegara is in great company when it comes to being a pampered cat. From prophets to presidents, celebrities to designers, many famous figures throughout history have shown just how much they adore their feline companions by giving them the royal treatment. (*)
