Sam, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sam
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Silver Tabby Persian
Home: Miami, Florida, USA
 
   Sam, or as we fondly call him "Sammy," was given to me as a birthday present by my father and his wife on my 40th birthday and what a blessing he has been! I grew up with cats all my life, but never did I have a cat as precious and sweet as Sam. I call him "Mi Santo" which in English translates to "My Saint" because he is a saint. We recently brought another kitty to our household and Sam has welcomed her with open arms. He has made her feel right at home by letting her sleep in his basket and by sharing his feeding bowl.

    Sam is very handsome, has beautiful cotton-like fur and big fuzzy paws. He is also very smart. Every morning when my daughter's alarm clock goes off, Sam runs straight for her room and starts to meow at her until she gets up. Then, he follows her through her morning routine, sits and accompanies her while she has her morning cup of coffee and then walks her to the door when she is getting ready to leave the house. He will follow you around the house wherever you go. And even when we go outside, he will sit on the windowsill and watch over us. He loves to be around people and loves to be carried. When I carry him he caresses my face with his big fuzzy paws. Everyone that comes to our house, whether a cat lover or not, falls in love with Sam. He is simply irresistible.

    Sam has now been with us for a year and it has been a delight to have him around. When I see his picture or when I talk about him, he brings a smile to my face. Our "Sammy" is one of a kind and we couldn't be happier that he has become part of our family.
