Squishy, along with Squibby and Nester, live with Tereigh Ewert, Senior Educational Developer (Diversity and Inclusivity) with the Centre for Learning and Teaching.

Name: Squishy

Nickname: MacFlouffButt

Species/breed: Squishy is a rare breed-- feline Zoomcatus

Age: 4

Fave food: voles, cantaloupe, cheese, and wine.

Special tricks: From any room and any state of sleep, hearing me joining a Teams meeting, offering an online workshop, and recording videos for my classes, and jumping onto my shoulder and taking centre stage. Anyone who has joined me online knows Squishy! Caught in the act, picture two. He can also climb the bookshelf to get at the out-of-reach catnip container, and, although he has not yet caught any, chasing window-crystal rainbows cast on the floors and walls.

Best quality: Squishy has put together quite the educational developer dossier packed with glowing workshop feedback and class evaluations, due to his impressive facilitation skills.

Social media platform or handle, if available:  Without his own 24-7 livestream account to keep people enraptured with his dynamic performances, Mr. MacFlouffButt sees no point in having a social media presence.
