Well, I can beat my husband over the head and tell him to feed Sam when he asks. Sam does ask, he sits in the kitchen or just bugs you until you feed him. He does jump up on the counter in the bathroom but so do all the others. I could make a hole small enough for Sam but not big enough for Tubby Tabby, that's what my mom in law did with her fat cat. I did get up and feed him last night and I had left food out for him. He is a dilemma that's for sure.
Pretty sure the high is from the short shot he got last night.
