Little Buddy’s Blog Takeover: The Mystery Of The Missing Cat-Sitters!

Tired of waiting for his human servant to convalesce, Little Buddy has assumed blogging duties. The world looks very different through the eyes of a handsome cat.

Big Buddy is still sick, which annoys me for several reasons including: 1) The level of service is subpar and has NOT returned to pre-COVID standards of excellence. Unacceptable! 2) I’m told I have fans on something called the internet, and Big Buddy has been derelict in his duties, which I’m told involve updating all my fans about how delightful I am, and all the awesome stuff I do on a daily basis. (In between regularly scheduled naps, of course.)

So in the interest of serving my many fans, and not because I have a big ego, I’m taking over the blog for the immediate future! If there was ever a time you wanted to hear directly from Little Buddy, now’s your chance.

So where was I? Right. All the awesome stuff I’ve been doing. Here’s the cover of my newest comic book, the Adventures of Baby Bud. It’s about all the awesome stuff I did as a kitten. I am much bigger and more meowscular now, but I was already very handsome in my kitten days:

Handsome and meowscular!

Buddy the Cat and the Mystery of the Missing Cat-Sitters!

We have a mystery on our hands, people! A real head-scratcher!

You see, the number of people willing to cat-sit me has dwindled to zero. That’s really sad awesome, because it means Big Buddy can’t go away OR he has to take me with him to all the places he goes, like Washington, the Outer Banks and upstate New York.

Some of you may remember that I accidentally attacked my original cat-sitter, Sue. There may have been some light clawing and maybe teeth involved, but it was no biggie. Humans are so dramatic about these things.

Well, Sue is very nice and the next time Big Buddy went away, she said she’d still stop by to feed me every day but she wouldn’t play with me anymore. (So dramatic.) Also, she had some sort of shield when she entered my domicile, and she kept saying “Be calm, Buddy, be calm! I’m just here to feed you!”

The thing is, I sort of maybe attacked her again. It wasn’t my fault, okay? I thought a chalupacabra was breaking in and I had to defend my territory!

Fast forward to late June and everyone who had cat-sat for me before was suddenly “busy.” Very strange. So Big Buddy turned to the one person who wouldn’t say no, Mother of Big Buddy, or MoBB, and she watched me while Big Buddy cruelly jetted off to Washington to hang out with Brother of Big Buddy (BoBB), his wife and their vile miniature humans. What? Is vile too strong of a word? Okay, their unpredictable, undeveloped-motor-skills-having, loud, terrifying miniature humans. Is that better?

Anyway, I sort of accidentally attacked MoBB too LOL. See, what happened was she woke up and went into the kitchen to make coffee, and I got agitated when I didn’t see any movement indicating she was going to feed me, and I sort of tripped and tried to break my fall by wrapping all four paws around her right leg, raking them down her calf and maybe kind of biting her shin a little bit until the skin broke.

And, uh, she might have had to go to urgent care, where the doctor claimed the “wound” from my “bite” was “infected” and prescribed her some sort of pills.

Like I said, it was all very dramatic. So now no one will watch me. Poor Little Buddy. I guess I’m just gonna have to sacrifice and accompany my Big Buddy on his next adventure. It’ll be tough, but I’m a team player and I’ll see this through so that my pal can get away for a few days without having to leave me home.

So that’s what’s been up in La Casa de Buddy. What’s up with you? 😎

  1. Very good to hear from you, Little Buddy. I’m so sorry your Big Buddy is sick and I feel even worse about the subpar service. Glad to see your “pawsitive cattitude” and wonderful sense of humor are helping you endure these deplorable conditions. And I hope you have loads of fun traveling with your Big Buddy. Again, it’s great to hear from you

  2. Oh my goodness little Buddy! You have suffered so much without proper servants! Tux feels your pain! He thinks that a proper feline spa retreat is in order! Perhaps Los Gatos has better human staff to attend to your needs during this staffing crisis!

  4. Please feel better & be careful & to Buddy, Oreo suggests that any insane but worthwhile aggression should be directed at vet’s & vet techs. They wear protective garb so your talons won’t have the dramatic impact that your regular humans do! Just a thought from a big boy cat who admires you… Best to you both ❤️

    1. Little Buddy insists his “aggression” is “accidental” and he totally didn’t mean to attack anyone, but he really likes the idea of attacking those evil vets! He offers his meowgnificent thanks to Oreo.

  5. Good to hear from Buddy as always. Sorry, your servant has been ill and hope a full recovery is imminent so normal service can be resumed. Catsitters are an easy one over here as there are so many that will come in feed/serve Bella and Bertie ( who has now become a pretty much permanent resident- which is great) however they lack the obedience necessary to open the garden doors when shouted at so the cat flap has to be used which does not allow for “stealth surveillance” of the garden in advance of any mission.

      1. Thank you, Joy. Little Buddy says of course you love him, he’s such a charming, handsome, meowscular, charming and handsome little guy. (Not like he has a big ego or anything!)

    2. Glad to hear Bertie is now part of the family. He’s a good boy and Bella could use a spotter for her patrols of London.

      I gotta say, I’m sick of being sick! I don’t know if this is long COVID but the fatigue is brutal. It’s killed my summer. Ah well. I took your suggestion a while back to eat more nuts for protein, so far so good. Pistachios, peanuts, cashews, etc. I don’t plan on going vegan but it’s good to get more protein.

  6. Good to hear from you Little Buddy, but so sorry to hear that your assistant, Big Buddy, is still sick and that service has declined. There has been an uptick in cases in my area too.

    1. Little Buddy shrieks at me regularly to register his displeasure. He’s not happy.

      I had a funny dream the other night, one of those dreams in which he can speak English, and he was letting me have it!
