Buddy may think of himself as alpha cat and is constantly marking everything to let the other cats know he is king and everything is his, not theirs. Seriously, he's claiming his space and his items by marking everything with his scent. It's my understanding the pheromones carried on the chin & cheek areas are "happy" pheromones, so maybe he's not only claiming things but helping keep the other cats calm. I have no scientific proof of that but it's what the synthetic pheromone in Feliway is supposed to do...calm cats!
