Often labeled as independent and distant, cats typically lead separate lives from their owners. However, Vegas the Bengal cat stands out from the rest as he eagerly awaits the return of his owners, Stuart and Robyn Flynn. His strong attachment to them drives him to leave adorable paw prints on the windows as he anxiously peeks out, longing for their arrival. His affectionate nature and constant yearning for companionship have earned him the endearing title of Britain’s Neediest Pet.
Introducing Britain’s most demanding pet – Vegas the Bengal cat, known for leaving a trail of paw prints on his owners’ windows as he eagerly waits to see if they’re coming back.
Vegas, a beloved pet of Stuart and Robyn Flynn, is so attached to them that he eagerly awaits their return home each time they step out, earning him the title of Britain’s most clingy pet. A friend captured moments of the five-year-old Vegas wandering around the couple’s home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with him often leaping onto window ledges in the living room, eagerly looking out for his owners. Vegas even goes the extra mile by occasionally peeking out of the bathroom window, using his paw to lift the blinds in order to get a better view of the street.
According to Mr. Flynn, Vegas is overjoyed when either he or his wife Robyn return home, immediately demanding to sit on their lap and be pampered with a brush. Mr. Flynn, who works in the film industry, mentioned that Vegas is always on high alert, climbing up onto windows to catch a glimpse of them coming back. He added that Vegas has mastered the timing and usually knows within a few minutes when they will be home after work.
Describing Vegas as a ‘very chatty’ cat, Mr. Flynn shared that Vegas greets them with meows, as if recounting his day to them when they arrive.
Vegas sometimes likes to sneak a peek out of the bathroom window, using his paw to lift the blinds for a better view of the street.
A mutual friend of the pair, aged 33, captured images of their lively five-year-old cat, Vegas, exploring their residence in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The playful feline was seen leaping onto window sills in the living room, eagerly awaiting the return of the couple.
According to Mr. Flynn, Vegas is always eager for attention when he or his wife Robyn come home, immediately jumping onto their laps and asking for a good brushing. Stuart mentioned that Vegas, who is a Bengal cat, is quite talkative and enjoys engaging in conversations while being pampered with a brush and some catnip. The couple adopted Vegas back in 2012 when he was about two years old, after he was found with a broken jaw wandering the streets by local vets. Now, after three years of being a part of their family, they estimate Vegas to be around five years old. Mr. Flynn expressed his joy in Vegas being chosen as the winner, describing him as a well-behaved cat most of the time.
