   Hi!! My name is Buddy. I am rambunctious and very playfull!!!

    My Meowmie, who rescues guys like me and finds them great homes, came upon me after a woman called her to say she was going into a battered women's shelter and couldn't take me with her. She promised to come back for me once she found a permanent place to live. That never happened and I was very sad. I went to live with a cranky old man named Hal, who wanted desperately to mold me into his old RB cat. I love being in high places. But Hal would get angry and spray me with water and swat me with a newspaper.

    After enduring six months of Hal's wrath, Meowmie finally said enough was enough. She and got me. Because she was maxed out in her fur population, she asked a friend to foster me until a furever home could be found. I hated being alone. I would sit in the window and cry. Meowmie must have heard my cries, because after a month, she called her friend and told her I was coming home to live with her and my other fur sibs.

    While I love my fur sibs, I had a rocky start. I was confused because didn't know where I belonged. I peed on the kitchen floor and the bathroom floor. Meowmie took me to the white coats to rule out a UTI. After a couple of squirts of Feliway in the air, and lots of loving, I knew I was home for good.

    Meowmie has been through a lot during the past two years. After losing two of my kitty siblings to the RB, she was inconsolable. It was only after I did my magic by knocking things off the shelf, did she start to laugh. I love making Meowmie laugh.

    I have my Meowmie trained very well. First thing in the morning, when she has her first cup of coffee, I'm right there to supervise the pouring of Half & Half. I am rewarded by my own little "sippy" of the rich, creamy liquid. When she says, "Buddy, kiss-kiss", I oblige by tilting my head her way for a smooch. I also have my own personal ceramic pet fountain. It's called the bathroom sink. Meowmie leaves the water running so I can drink at my leisure. My favorite spot is on top of the refrigerator or the top shelf in the kitchen.

   I'm very happy here and now know where I belong and that I am loved unconditionally!
