Mr. Sand Flea appears to have a set schedule, arriving at the feeder at around 7 AM (local feeder time) daily. As there is typically no food in the feeder at this time, he has shown himself to be very patient, waiting for up to 45 minutes. This would likely have been longer, had he not been scared off. | |||
He seems to feel somewhat safe in the feeder, managing to rest inside despite it being open on both sides. This is an anomaly at the feeder, as no other cats have been observed staying inside for a long period of time. Despite this, he is still easily startled, though not as much as the other cats. | |||
He has been described as silly due to the way he stares at the camera and licks his lips during a meal, with his stare being dubbed the 'Leather Jacket Stare'. Sometimes his silliness cannot be contained, and he will sit with his tongue out, | He has been described as silly due to the way he stares at the camera and licks his lips during a meal, with his stare being dubbed the 'Leather Jacket Stare'.

* '''March 23rd, 2024''': At 7:08 AM (local feeder time), Mr. Sand Flea was once again spotted waiting by the almost empty food bowl.

* '''March 24th, 2024''': At 4:26 AM (local feeder time), Mr. Sand Flea was spotted having a quick early morning snack that lasted for just under two minutes. He would later return at 7 AM (local feeder time) to find the bowl empty. He curled up on the soil next to the feeder and waited patiently for 45 minutes, until he was scared off when the feeder was seemingly sprayed with a hose. Because of this, he unfortunately missed some kibble by not even five minutes. | * '''March 24th, 2024''': At 4:26 AM (local feeder time), Mr. Sand Flea was spotted having a quick early morning snack that lasted for just under two minutes.

* '''March 26th, 2024''': Mr. Sand Flea showed up early today, entering the feeder at 6:34 AM (local feeder time). Unfortunately, the feeder was empty, but after around five minutes of waiting, he was donated some kibble. Being a true gentleman, he did not empty the foodbowl, but instead decided to practice the teachings of [[Brother Calm]] while observing the world around him. He would then eep in the feeder until something scared him away at 7:40 AM (local feeder time). | |||
