@tayfonay #SamCat, when he was still a kitten, brought home a long dead, starting to disintegrate wood pigeon.

When I failed to react joyfully to his offering, he tried to run off to the neighbours’ with it. Neighbour F had to go inside until I dealt with it. Something I still feel bad about.

Reading Fediverse in the garden while dinner cooks has just been drizzled off.

This is not the June I, or #SamCat, ordered.

I’m starting to feel like I recognise the particular deep, short, “mrrr-a” noise #SamCat makes when he knows we’re going for the licky treat. It’s not a sound he makes in any other circumstances.

@TheEddieShow #SamCat conveys his commands with a firm paw pressed _very _ firmly onto the top of the human’s foot.

@iain 🤞 So far #SamCat is not exhibiting any signs of there being anything in the house worth hunting.

#SamCat came home, scoffed his breakfast, horked up a giant hairball, and went out again.

Happy birthday #SamCat! Five years old today.

@clickhere I think #SamCat’s #CatAffirmations would be “WANT!”

@GayDeceiver So much this. #SamCat was a very hyper kitten (born into a home with a very boisterous toddler), and is still very easily spooked. He responds really well when his humans slow blink at him, and make like we’re doing really big yawns.

We’ve reached the point now where, if any one of the three of us yawns, the other two follow :)

@TheEddieShow #SamCat has a hard stare when he’s trying to make you understand what he wants, and he stares until you get up from your seat.

If it’s out the window, it’s clear enough because he jumps up on the sill. But when he sits in the middle of the kitchen meowing, it’s a game to work out if he wants food, a treat or a brushing.
