Kitty Week – Sketch #4

Two years ago, on Christmas Eve, it was a bitterly cold snowy night with howling winds, and, as my daughter, Sara, fumbled with the keys to her back door, trying to get in the house and out of the wind after spending Christmas Eve at our house, she looked down to find a skinny little bundle of fur wrapping around her legs, meowing piteously. Enter: Buddy.

Buddy, about 8 weeks old

Named after Buddy the Elf, the character portrayed so hilariously by Will Ferrell in the movie “Elf”, our feline Buddy has personality plus! He’s a bundle of energy who’s always getting into trouble. A mischievous scamp with a taste for fun, he drives you crazy but you can’t help loving him. He lives with Sara now and wreaks havoc on her house, but he’s such a sweetheart that she just has to laugh at his antics. If he could talk, he might be quoting Will Ferrell’s line, “I’m a cotton-headed ninny-muggins!”
