Many thousands of Americans have heard the now-viral story about a cat who saved a dog from a vicious coyote attack, but did you know that fearless feline is none other than Buddy the Cat?
We were lucky enough to catch up with Buddy and interview him about his famous feat of extraordinary bravery, as well as what life’s like for him now that he’s become a feline celebrity.
Q: First of all, thanks for speaking to us. We know you’ve got a lot of interview requests and you’re so hot right now, so we appreciate you taking the time.
Buddy: Anytime. It’s true, so many people want a piece of Buddy the Brave these days that it’s beginning to mess with my napping schedule, but I think it’s important to speak out on topics like this.
Q: Well said! So why don’t you take us through the chain of events. What preceded this vicious coyote attack, and how did you become involved?
Buddy: Well I was visiting my friend — and yes, cats can be friends with inferior animals like dogs! — when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I have incredible vision, as you know. And as the coyotes were sneaking up I just kind of raised a paw and flexed my bicep. Usually that’s enough to make ’em think twice, you know?
Q: But these coyotes didn’t heed your warning?
Buddy: Unfortunately, no. They were licking their lips and set on attacking my buddy, and Buddy does not take kindly to anyone attacking my buddies, you know what I mean?
Q: Those coyotes clearly didn’t know who they were dealing with. So that’s when they attacked?
Buddy: Exactly. For a hot second I was in shock, you know? I’m thinking ‘Did they not just see me flex? Is it possible they didn’t see how ripped I am?’ But then I heard my friend yelp in pain and I just sprang into action without regard for my own safety.
Q: That’s very heroic of you.
Buddy: Isn’t it?
Q: So what would you say to detractors who claim the cat in the video has black fur and is not a gray tabby?
Buddy: They’re conspiracy theorists, like people who think the Earth is hexagonal and Big Catnip is out to get kitties hooked. You know, it’s a black and white security camera, and I move so fast that I’m a blur, so I can understand how people are confused.
Q: And the people who claim this happened in Oklahoma?
Buddy: Fake news. Obviously it happened in New York.
Q: Obviously. Well we don’t want to take any more of your precious time, but we just want to thank you, Buddy. You’re a real Americat hero!
Buddy: Yes I am!

Right? It’s like they’re trying to take credit away from the real hero, who is Buddy of course. It’s high time someone built a statue of him.

Truly, Buddy the Meownificent deserves a monument. Of there’s there so chance soul less stone or metal could capture Buddy’s perfection, but a good attempt would be nice. A Go Fund Me drive might be in order!

It would be funny to formally petition the NYC city council to allocate space for a statue of Buddy, then act shocked and greatly offended when they don’t know who he is.
“What do you mean ‘Who’s Buddy?’ That’s like asking ‘Who’s Superman?’!”

One. CLEARLY that was gray fur. 🤣And two. Not the first time a cat saved a dog or a child. So no surprise here.

Obviously you have sharp vision, Gilda. It’s gray fur for sure!

Cats are NOT passive. What a clueless idiot that guy is. Typical. Cats are not as in-your-face as dogs are. Period. Pound-for-pound they can be the most fearless, FIERCE creatures on Earth. Binx (Ramses’ name prior to meeting Moi) gets extra points being a sleek black Void of a House Panther.
Nice try, though, Buddy.

Wow Buddy, that was quite the bold rescue! But now I’m so confused!? I thought you were a striped tabby? I guess the video just needed more lighting!

According to Buddy, his striped pattern looks solid when he runs at high speed, and in fact it provides such good camouflage that he looks like the Predator when he hunts, so his prey only see optical camouflage before it’s too late and he’s already got the jump on them.
“These are advanced hunting techniques, human,” he said. “I wouldn’t expect you to understand.”

Our primitive human eyes can’t take in the perfection that is Buddy in motion. And yes, it’s entirely possible the Predator race shared their camo tech with Buddy the hunting legend.

So glad to see Little Buddy revealing his SuperCat self. No surprise at all that Little Buddy saved the dog and saved the day, scaring vicious coyotes far away.❤

Indeed. The Avengers would be derelict in their duties not to recruit him into their ranks.
