Tis the Season for Changes for Buddy


So Buddy the kitten is going through a lot of changes right now. He has gotten quite a bit bigger and increasingly more annoying. For instance, last week he gave Marilyn two kitty wounds- one near the eye and one big scratch across her foot. He has been spending a LOT of time in Josh's bathroom because he likes to keep us up all night attacking various body parts and generally running amuck. His latest trick is climbing up to the top of the bookshelf, hanging off the back, and using a paw to pick certain items he can swipe onto the floor. He also likes to find my hairbands and take them and hide them. He does the same thing with my makeup sponges, he even gets them out of my makeup bag.


We are now convinced he can open the bathroom door, uh oh.


Names we have for Buddy include:


  • Turd and every other variation of turd you can imagine (turd muffin, turd cake, turd bucket);

  • Nacho

  • Ese

  • Damnit and F'er

  • Hey Don't Do That

  • Get off the Counter!

  • Are you kidding me?

  • Another roll of toilet paper?

  • Turkey

  • Buttkins

And probably every swear word in the book.


So, Buddy is going in for what Josh calls "tutoring" tomorrow morning. He is being neutered and de-clawed.


Poor thing will be enduring some serious trauma, including a stay overnight at the vets. But for me, a night of peaceful sleep. So wish Buddy some luck!
