The Scamperbeasts
@scamperbeasts.bsky.social
Sugar, Spice, Smudge and Saja, and occasionally guest animals and humans.
Spice and Smudge exhibit the differences in nap position philosophies
Smudge, his face studiously neutral about whatever nonsense he is being forced to observe from the stairs
"You were gone for several days without permission, human. But I am so glad you are back I have left you a special gift in your shoes. You're welcome."
Today is apparently a high water mark in the annals of "Can't Even"
Be a hero to a new generation of Scamperbeasts!

"The human's shirt does not have nearly enough cat hair on it. I can fix that."
Smudge appears to be questioning his life choices
To begin the month of June, Smudge offers up the rare but valuable TussleMlem™, with an assist from Saja
"Never forget, human, your primary job is 'couch'"
"What do you mean, 'why can't I lay in the cat bed like a normal person'? This IS normal!"
"Why are we lurking under the kitchen table just before dinner? Why, no reason. No reason at all."
"I have notes about your most recent portrait of me"
Saja has been introduced to the concept of rain and is not sure he is a fan of it
