Buddy

1997 - 2014

How we met
Buddy and I first met when i had moved into my friend’s place. He was not even a year old yet and had been living there already for a few months. He came from a litter of kittens the neighbor’s cat had earlier that year. We bonded quickly, within the first few weeks of me living there, and before much longer he started spending all his nights sleeping in my bed, waking up with me and greeting me when i would get home from work.

What Buddy liked.
Buddy’s favorite thing to do was hunt. I live in a rural area where there were always plenty of little critters and birds for him to track down. He would even catch the occasional squirrel. He also just loved lounging on your lap as you watched TV or took a nap. He also loved (believe it or not) to take walks with me down the railroad tracks or along the nearby hiking trails. He would walk with you for so long that he would start panting which i never saw a cat do before.

Buddy's legacy.
Buddy will be remembered as being extremely loyal, loving, fearless and completely fond of humans. Never did he bite, scratch or even ever hiss at anybody, in fact i never heard him hiss once in our several years together. he was the perfect example of unconditional love, and plenty of it. He will be missed always by everyone he ever came in contact with.
