Sammy

When Patsy died, we settled on not bringing another cat into Princess' life. Remembering the Rupert situation, we knew that introducing a new pet can go good or bad.

While Isadora was pregnant, she started hanging out by the apartment pool and reading. This apartment complex had many stray cats. We had already taken in and found homes for two of them. That is another story in Karma.

Isadora called me at work to tell me that there was a stray cat that was spending its days with her at the pool. It was really cute and probably is not wild just abandoned. She wanted to take it in.

We took it in. I was reading a book on our city's namesake. We named him after him.

Sammy had a big head and a little body. Had.

Sammy slept. Sammy ate. Sammy pooped. The Daily Phases of the Sam.

Sammy is huge. He is half cougar. He is solid muscle. He likes to play. We don't like to play with him. Teeth and claws are fair game with Sammy. He is the only animal I have ever hit in the face. Sammy understands one thing. Power. He is the ultimate alpha male.

However, when Isadora was pregnant with Darryl, Sam's job was to guard her while I went to work. He sat beside her all day and every day. Sammy has slept in Darryl's bed ever since Darryl was born. That is Sam's job. Protect Darryl.

Since we moved into the house and Darryl is four, Sam has retired from active service. Now he lies on his back on the SUV and suntans his private parts all day. He must be originally from the Mediterranean. If Sammy were a man, he would definitely be wearing a thong.

Ofcourse, we got Sammy fixed so he doesn't have his Macadamias. But don't tell him that. We had to because we are trying to help prevent the spread of unwanted cats. Actually, in Sammy's case it was because he was really horny and really big and had developed a love for using my belly button as his personal vagina.

I lied down on the sofa to watch football one Sunday. Sammy sat on top of me and started staring at me. I was watching the TV. I looked up at him. He was looking at me. I noticed the bottom half of him was shaking. Something under him was stabbing and poking the inside of my belly button. No.

I lifted him up and there was this red raw coil sticking out from his fur.

ISADORA!!!!
