Weird vlog on this one, just kind of felt like showing you guys my outdoor cat, Buddy. He doesn't live with me anymore and he has someone else very loving watching him now, but I do still consider him a part of my little family and I visit him at least once every other week when I'm in his neck of the woods. He has a long, sordid history of many stories. The short of it is: When I moved from this quiet cul-de-sac into my current downtown apartment, I recognized that his safety would have been in question due to higher foot traffic and less seclusion of the neighborhood. Plus, Buddy just can't be an indoor cat: Complicated health issues prevent that, as well as his own relentless stubbornness to be outside a majority of the time. So, against my own wishes, my old neighbors happily took him in so he could stay where I used to live, in a place where he's safe and where my old neighbors are already familiar with him and like him. I think about this sweet, intelligent guy every day. Miss him so much, and he evidently misses me since he always tries to follow me to my car and even climb on it when I open the door. Sweet bastard.
