NEW YORK — For the third night in a row, Buddy the Cat rolled onto his back, belched thunderously, and settled down for a restful nap surrounded by the devoured remnants of treats and snacks gifted to him for Valentine’s Day.
“It’s wonderful to be so loved that hundreds of Valentines Day packages are deliv…ooh, bacon-flavored crunchies!” Buddy said, breaking his train of thought after discovering six or seven of the little treats under a pile of opened and discarded packages.
“Where was I?” the bloated feline asked, blinking. “Oh yeah. It’s such a great feeling to have so many admirers that … mmmm, sandwich … every day brings new …* burp *! … gifts of food to sample and … oh, I love turkey gravy!”

The chubby tabby has been the recipient of countless Valentine’s Day gifts this year, reflecting his considerable popularity among females, both feline and human. He’s been eating his way through them with enthusiasm since the packages began arriving.
Witnesses report the well-fed feline was unable to complete a sentence without getting distracted and stopping to shovel food into his mouth mid-sentence.
“He only stops eating when he falls asleep,” one witness told PITB. “At this rate, his human will have to roll him around like a boulder because, frankly, I’m not sure anyone makes a cat carrier with material strong enough to lift him without ripping apart.”
As of press time, Buddy had fallen asleep with a sloppy hand-written note taped to his forehead, asking visitors to leave Valentine’s Day gifts in one of the 27 provided baskets.

Happy V Day to both Buds.

Thank you for the kind words, your comment is the kind of thing that makes this worthwhile, and we hope you have a good V Day too!
The best part about the Buddy humor, to me at least, is that this is all based on his personality. Sure, it’s more cartoonish for comedic effect, but he really does seem to think he’s a tiger, he has a huge ego, and he’ll eat his way through anything!

Thank you for the appreciation. It’s interesting that Little Buddy’s personality traits and issues are similar to my Little Furry Guy’s. Maybe it’s a kitty thing to believe you’re a huge, scary tiger. 😻

Snoops is extremely jealous. We’ve never been able to find bacon-flavored cat treats. Happy Valentine’s Day, buddy!

There’s one that’s supposedly “bacon and eggs” made by Friskies, I think. Bud loves it. I will make a note of the name when I get more.

Good to know that Buddy is receiving the attention he deserves on Valentine’s day.
On a different, sadder note, have you heard that Palmerston has passed away? We heard on the radio a couple of hours ago, but his passing is getting coverage online, including here – https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/larry-the-cat-tribute-neighbour-palmerston-foreign-office-cat-died-5HjdSLm_2/

Sad news indeed. Palmerston was an awesome little dude, his turf battles with Larry are the stuff of legend, and lots of people were thrilled when he came out of “retirement” to take his Bermuda post with his human. Thank you for letting me know.
