    Not an essential word if you the listener have context! It’s just that understanding this phrase is reliant on reader knowing context (i…e either that buffalo tend to buffalo buffalo OR just the theory/gimmick of the sentence itself.)

    Also i believe OP made some effort to indicate via Capitalisation that one repeated buffalo is a proper noun. (Place name)

    See: Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an) Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an) buffalo(vrb), buffalo(vrb) Buffalo(pl) buffalo(an)

    pl: place, an: animal, vrb: verb.

      Washington cats [missing] florida rats chase, annoy Vegas whores.

      There needs to be a which, that, who or something in that missing space for a proper sentence structure.
