Do you have an unbreakable dish you could use atop the fridge for Buddy? I can see why he likes it, because my RB fur-nephew Churchill did too ... it's warm up there, plus he could look down on us, his hoomins. Somewhere I have a picture of Churchie looking at me from the top of the fridge. If there is a refrigerator in kitty heaven, I'm sure Churchie is on top of it right now.
