Page 44 2025 Animal Stories Lincoln Daily News February 2025 Animals In Action Bird hunting pays off for Benny the cat The rather large kitty owned by Michelle and Joe Ryan was the winner of the Animals in Action category of the 2025 Animal Stories Pet Contest. Benny is only two years old and is really quite large for his age. Michelle said that she found Benny when he was very tiny, and she started out helping him survive by feeding him with an eyedropper. Benny won the category for the photo of him in a tree seriously contemplating the fate of a nearby bird. Ryan tagged the photo “Bird hunting.” At Farm and Home Supply, Benny and Michelle were accompanied by Joe and his best buddy Archie. The Ryan’s say the two get along fine. Benny won a $50 gift card from Farm and Home supply that was presented by Rick Wilson. Karen Castelein was on hand from Lincoln Daily News, and presented the Ryans with a LDN swag bag containing ink opens, not pads, butter mints, and an LDN mug.
