Happy Independence Day 2025!

Happy ‘Merican Birthday from the Buddies!

The Buddies would like to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July!

We hope you have a great Independence Day, whether you’re spending it in the company of family and friends or quietly at home.

Buddy has bravely endured the fireworks show a block away from Casa de Buddy, shrugging it off like the fearless feline he is!

Who’s That Handsome Kitten?

This kitten looks very familiar…

I was digging through some old files when I found these photos of a young Buddy the Cat:

What a dapper fellow!

“Hey, where’s that steak you promised?”

These were taken in my brother’s apartment on the Upper East Side. It was early summer, so Buddy was probably about four months old, give or take.

He spent almost the entire day in the yard where he made friends with Cosmo the Dog and had lots of fun chasing insects, running around and rolling in the grass. He made friends with every human there, of course. Then when he was tired out from all that playing, he had a super special treat: Steak from the BBQ.

I’d love to bring the little guy to more social events and barbecues, but alas, almost all of them involve dogs who are not Cosmo, and I’m not sure how Bud would do with three or four dogs running around, let alone 20+ people. Smaller gatherings sans pups are a better bet.
