Sammy Davis American Shorthair Mix Greensboro, NC

Sammy Davis is a super affection and incredibly smart tuxedo kitty. He was born in his foster home (to his Russian Blue mom who had SEVEN tuxedo babies) and it was originally decided he may do best just staying in the "shy cat" room as he was super sensitive and didn't do well at fairs or when people visited. But as time has gone on, it's been established he would be much more adoptable than originally thought. In fact, he now ADORES attention. Carry him, let him lap sit for hours, let him love bite for even more attention. He's SUPER affectionate. So much so, now, that he may be a bit of a bully to other cats who also want human attention. It just took him a good while to figure it all out. He does do well with other cats as long as they are the absolute alpha OR absolutely ok with him being the alpha kitty. He's actually kind of a ninny. He will submit to alpha cats but will kind of bully submissive cats to compete for the attention he now desires. So he either needs to be alpha to all or complete beta to one (he will literally "bow down" his head to the alpha...it's actually kind of sweet...but he will "bully" the ones beneath him if he feels he has to compete for attention). A house with lots of dynamics may prove hard for all, as his foster home can attest to since there are so many in it. He does hide when visitors come but after a bit he will come out to see what the fuss is about. His foster mom adores him and doesn't want to let him go but now that he has blossomed she realizes it would be best for him to get a home where he could get more individual attention. He loves to play with toys/wands and he will go absolutely nuts for catnip (TikTokers this is the catnip cat for you!). You will not regret bringing this life into yours!
