Here are the deets on Buddy, submitted by VIA reader : Bonnie V!

.Breed/Colouring: Black & white polydactyl (6 toes!) longhair'd tuxedo cat

Hood: Kitsilano

Habits:  At the young-at-heart age of 19, Buddy is most accustomed to habitual napping. He does take his job as the morning wake-up call very seriously, and rarely misses a morning to wake his family for breakfast by pawing at any exposed flesh. He also likes to help people when they are doing homework or working on their laptops; he can't resist being helpful.

		Name: Buddy (Aka: Bud, Buddy Bigfoot, His Budliness, Budcat, Puss, Grandpa)

Hangouts:  His favourite place to hangout is his chair. It's where he sleeps, sits, and grooms himself. When not on his chair, Buddy will station himself where his treats are stored and try to convince anyone who walks by to give him a treat.

Favorite Things:  I'll let Buddy speak for himself here, he's earned it in his 19 years!: "Treats. I like treats a lot. I'm told I'm OCD about them. One of my favourite things to do is play "treat soccer" with my big paws and I'm an adept goalie. I have a softer side too; I love to be brushed and when my fur is soft, I look extremely handsome. I know because I'm told this a lot."

Other Info:  "I'm the Benjamin Button of cats. My vet tells me how I'm a geriatric specimen with the blood of a five year old cat. No one can believe how old I am! It must be those extra toes I have. I was adopted at four months old and have been a heart -breaker ever since."
