KITTY OF THE MONTH
January 2023
SAMANTHA
Hi, my name is Samantha. Meow!
I showed up at Kirrily’s place with my newborn kittens a little over ten years ago. She took me in and cared for me and found homes for my kittens, and then the no cat policy where she was living forced me out. She took me to Francis’s place in Venice so he could look after me for a while.
I really enjoyed Venice. I liked hanging on screens, climbing the grape vine, following Francis and friends almost down to the sand, and photo bombing an early date with Meredith, who would later find a place for the three of us to live together in Santa Monica.
I love these winter months, when I can burrow in between my humans’ legs at night. They never thank me enough for the pretzel positions I get them into while they sleep. I guess they don’t realize how much those contortions are helping them. They also don’t thank me enough for the mice presents I bring. 2 out of his last 3 birthdays I gave Francis a mouse, right on the day.
I like being social with humans, saying what’s on my mind. It’s been a lovely ten plus years since I met Francis, and became the head of this family.
I so enjoy this place in Santa Monica. I like to sleep in the goji berry pot, or the wine planter box, climb the loquat tree, or just sit for tea on the deck. Recently a little human named Ludo joined us. He and I were a little skittish of each other at first, but now we all cuddle, and even hang out in his play pen. I jump in and out as I please, though Ludo seems stuck in there until someone pulls him out. He’s learned to pet me the way I like it, even though he is just one year old. I’m training him really well, and I feel sure that pretty soon he’ll be able to open the pantry door and get me some treats from the treat box whenever I ask him to.
