I've heard it said that the way to a man's heart is through the stomach. Well, this was Buddy's approach to getting out of the shelter and it worked! His soft tummy furs were irresistible!
First contact at the shelter.
Second contact.
When we visited the shelter one year ago today we had no intention of growing our family. And then we met Buddy. A few hours later he was coming home with us!
Buddy loves his porch time!
Loving on Buddy means endless tummy rubs!

13 years old and going strong. It's been a delight having Buddy in my life for the last year. He's our must snuggly inside cat and he's very set in his ways! He tells me when he wants more food and when it's time for bed. If he thinks I'm not listening he'll intensify his campaign. And of course he's always asking for his tummy to be rubbed!
I look forward to the second year of delightful Buddy!
Is it only a year? It seems, to us, that he's always been with you. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the first shelter pics...He sure knew how to sucker you. LOL. (So did we all, in our turn.)
awww - it has already been a year??? time flies

Seems I just read about you bringing him home. Older cats are nice which people do not all know. He is very handsome and happy looking. Glad you got him.
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day. Those boys that like belly rubs are the best!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day, Buddy! Our human lufs people who adopt older kitties (and dogs). She volunteers at a rescue.
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful how Buddy has just adapted so well to his new home.
ReplyDeleteOnly a soul with a big heart could have made the transition so easy...
Have a great weekend.

Sweet Buddy! Love the snugly guy! Happy Gotcha Day!
ReplyDeleteSweet Buddy! I love his very erect ears. He certainly "gotcha'd" YOU at the shelter!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at the first picture with Buddy 'holding' your hand I can see in his eyes that he loved you.
