After being dubbed “The Saddest Cat in the World,” an orange tabby named BenBen is showing everyone that he really can smile, after being rescued following a seemingly endless stint at the SPCA. Animal rescue workers say that BenBen was likely attacked by a larger mammal shortly before he was picked up, leading to his missing left ear. While SPCA workers assumed that the tomcat’s permanently sad face was due to excess skin, in Instagram photos of his new home the cat already looks visibly more cheerful. (telegraph.co.uk)
