Meet Sam: reformed street goblin, current work-in-progress lady.



Sam is fresh off her retirement from the "feral life," where she majored in Survival, Suspicion, and Using Her Teeth for Communication. Now, she's bravely navigating domestic living like a tiny, gray-and-white pioneer who is trying her best but occasionally forgets that humans prefer their affection non-bitey.



She's actually made amazing progressshe enjoys cozy beds (as seen in her throne photo), keeps a watchful eye on her surroundings, and is starting to understand that people = snacks + comfort. Revolutionary stuff.



That said, Sam is still learning emotional regulation. Sometimes when she feels overwhelmed, excited, confused, or mildly inconvenienced, her brain briefly goes:



"Have we considered chomping?"



We are gently introducing her to alternative coping strategies such as:





  • existing peacefully


  • blinking slowly
