Our Sammy is quite the feline thespian. And like all divas, he craves international exposure. When I explained to him that there was some pretty serious competition out there on the web (GrumpyCat for starters), he only said, “Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.”
This was his debut role, as a baguette.
He considers the boule to be his masterpiece, but he also does a mean cinnamon roll.
Here’s his pullman loaf.
Sammy despises costumes of any sort, and will only perform in the nude. He does consent to wear a fetching green collar, but only because green is his color.
Even though we are vegetarians, Sammy is an enthusiastic carnivore, and when he has too much to drink at parties, he insists on doing his lamb chop imitation.
Somehow he convinced us to have a professional do a few head shots for his portfolio.
That led to this audition for a remake of “Day of the Triffid.”
I tried one last time to convey to Sammy the sad truth that if he wants to be a big internet star, he’ll have to spend less time snoozing and more time working on his piano playing. He looked at me like I was nuts. “I already AM a big star. It’s the search engines that are too small.”
Sammy often portrays a superfeline who can shoot flames from his head and travel at supersonic speeds!
He has a bad habit of stalking and taking down any nearby felines if they aren’t feisty enough to defend themselves. Did I mention he’s a diva?
A bully? Moi???

Aw, he’s gorgeous! Our ginger tom is currently at the vets with a chest infection; it’s been a bit touch and go but hopefully he’ll be home tomorrow. I love ginger toms 🙂
Oh, poor boy! I hope he feels better soon and gets to come home. Ginger toms seem to be the friendliest of cats…
Star qualities, no question. Can I get an autograph?
Sammy says he’s too busy, but he left something special just for you on the rug…
It sounds like Sammy is exhibiting some typical super-star behavior.
; – )
Adorable! I’ve a soft spot for stripey gingers 😉
But, I’m afraid, he’s got some serious competition… meet Leo!

How are your new arrivals doing, by the way?
OMG, he’s gorgeous. And the cat’s pretty good too! Thanks for asking about the new girlies–they are making progress and have met one of the other felines of the house, though not Sammy. He is positively pining for a chance to get in their room and chase them around…
He is… though a bit young for us 😉
I see… slow progress it is on the cat front. Aw, do post some pics of the two of them when you get the chance.
Thanks! I will, but I am trying to resist the temptation to turn into a cat blog… it would be all too easy.
A regular sprinkling with cats can only enhance a blog. That’s my firm belief from which I’m not prepared to deviate. Ever.
As long as it’s not a sprinkling “from” cats…
No, that’s always disagreeable, no matter how sparingly it may be applied 😦
Love him! I so want a cat. My two died not long ago, aged 19 years! Now I have a dog who doesn’t like cats. 😦
Oh, so sad. 19 years is fantastic for cats, though! You took good care of them!
Photogenic & cute kitty!
Sammy prefers to be described as “stunning,” “the next Benedict Cumberbatch” or “a swoon-worthy love god” but he thanks you all the same
