Aw, Bones, Sam the Cat sounds so cute! Cats do just pick people out and then do what they like, there's no choice when a cat's involved! Lol. We visited a garden centre last year that has a live in cat - he just turned up one day and started following the owner around. They put posters up and went to Cat Rescue and did all the things you would do to find the owner but no-one came forward so he lives there now, spending most of his day sat next to the till as an endless queue of people stroke him

Not daft! Sam the Cat sounds so cute, I'm glad he picked you out to be his friend

I hope getting the shots done goes okay. It's a pain to have to do it in two stages, and then I guess the flu one is an extra one on top? But yes, asthma and flu are not a good combo, particularly after having shingles. Your poor body needs some time to recover without the risk of getting ill again so I hope all of that goes well.
Have you seen the film A Street Cat Named Bob? If not, you might like it - it's a true story about a homeless guy who is adopted by this lovely cat, who kind of helps him turn his life around. It's a lovely film if you haven't already seen it xx
