You can add an "if" condition in the event tile where Cuddles will greet you. Basically:

Condition one: Cuddles isn't in your party.

Condition two: Cuddles is in your party.

If this event tile is stepped on, it will check if one of the above conditions is met. If condition one is met, then Cuddles will greet you as usual. If condition two is met instead, then have Cuddles simply ask you to follow him to the basement (basically, the "greeting" part but only using the last bits of dialogue).
