Disclaimer: I would be heartbroken if I lost Bud, and worried about him out there in the big scary world. This just came out of a "what if?" with a friend recently while talking about what a brat my cat is.
If he somehow got separated, and lost for a few days, and encountered a group of strays:
"Hi, I'm Buddy!"
Stray cats look at each other, start laughing.
"Who wants to play? Got any toys?"
"Go away, kid. It's daytime. We're sleeping."
A few hours later...
"I'm hungry! When does the Big Buddy come with the food?"
"The who?"
"The Big Buddy! He brings the food! I want turkey!"
Once again, stray cats find this hilarious and just laugh at him.
"You want turkey, kid? There's a nice little farm upstate...you just have to go 150 miles to get there!"
"150 miles? That sounds like a lot. What about chicken, do we have chicken? Or beef? Mmmm, beef! I could even eat duck!"
"Does this look like a restaurant? Look up, kiddo, there's lunch."
Points to birds.
"Ewwww. No, I want chicken, or beef! Oooh, kibble!"
Bounds over to a pile of kibble and drives face-first into it. But...it's not kibble?!?!
"Hahahaha, that's bird poop, kid! You ate pellets!"
Stray cats take him dumpster diving...
"Ah, this is the life, kid! Hakuna matata!"
