Mr. Sand Flea, also known as Mr. Sandy, is a cat that appears at the 猫咪快乐の秘密屋 (The Secret House of Happy Cats) feeder. His name comes from the fact that his fur is sand coloured and he looks similar to a Sand Flea.

Behavior

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 also appears to be a restless sleeper, constantly moving

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,

Mr. Sand Flea does not like hosepipes. He hates them.

Appearance

His fur is a sandy colour, with a patch of white around his mouth that continues down to his belly. His eyes appear to be visibly unwell.

During his first sighting, he appeared rather scrunkly and craggly, with his fur being messy and matted. However, in his second sighting, his fur seemed somewhat tidier.

He has been compared to a Sand Flea.
