Buttercup begins as a scrawny, flea-ridden kitten with a swollen belly, but becomes Prim’s scruffy old companion and self-appointed guardian. He noses into her arms when she cries, and Prim loves him enough to weep at the thought of losing him. Later, the thought of Buttercup brings Katniss a smile.

Description

Buttercup is a scrawny, scruffy old cat with a muddy yellow coat. His nose is mashed in, half of one ear is missing, and his eyes are the color of rotting squash. He often sits watchfully beside Prim.
