Buddy, Family Cat



Buddy is our lovable cat. Everyone that meets him finds him sweet, adorable but a little odd. Here are a few reasons why:

Buddy refuses to eat table scraps of meat, but LOVES yogurt (even with strawberries).




  • Does not run. Ever. Not after birds or from dogs.



  • Walks quickly to meet strangers, not away from them. (Don't most cats run from strangers?)



  • Comes when you call his name.



  • Snores loudly.



  • Does not know how to climb a tree.



  • Enjoys visits with our neighbor's dog, Scotty.



  • Has terrible balance.



  • Has fallen from our loft and broken his leg.



  • Grows back different colored hair if you shave him.



  • Has blue eyes.



  • Lets my daughter put necklaces on him and play with his hair.



  • Stalks me in all rooms of the house, at all times of the day and night.



  • Avoids his water bowl, preferring to drink only from algae covered fish bowls or toilet water.



  • Gets attacked by birds if he is in our front yard.



  • Lays under my neighbor's bird feeder watching birds all day, never chasing them in anything faster than a SLOW crawl.



  • Tries to scratch my brother Brian's eyes out every chance he can.

Even with all his eccentricities - he's mine, I love him and you can't have him!
