Meeting Sam

Sam, his first day out and about in his new home










































Meet Sam, the newest addition to the family. He is a small black cat who purrs much louder than his small stature would indicate.

Myra loves her new brother. When she met him for the first time, her tail was wagging at triple speed.

He follows her around. She runs up to him, her whole body wagging and then will kiss/slurp his forehead. He will lick her and rub his head on her face and purr.

He is not a quick to love cat, he is still feeling us out, but we are slowly winning his approval. He joined us on the bed for a family nap, and for a very few minutes, the four of us were snuggled on the bed (we might need a bigger bed at some point). He runs off if you approach him too quickly, but if you sit down and let him come to you, he purrs contentedly at you. Just a few minutes ago, he was down below my desk chair, I invited him up. He didn't stay long but he did jump up into my lap.

I was worried about him not eating for almost two days, and then I was worried because he didn't seem to be eating much. But I am learning Sam does things at his pace, when he is ready. That's not a bad thing.

I am looking forward to getting to know him more, and seeing Myra with her new little brother. And oddly and nicely, bringing Sam home made me love Myra even more, because she is such a wonderful, sweet, happy dog.

Welcome to your new home, Sam
