SAM is a male SOC (stupid orange cat). He's the nicest, sweetest, cutest
cat in the world. But, alas, he doesn't have any tricks! I've had him
since he was born 7 years ago. His mother's name was Queenie and his
father was a travelin' man. Queenie, and her whole litter, was orange. He
sleeps with me every night and wakes me every morning at 5 a.m.
When I go away on a week-end trip, etc. he goes away
too. He hides and doesn't come home till I do. He does have a trick of
sorts, he knocks on the door when he wants in. And if that doesn't work,
he sits in the window flower box and bangs on the window pane. He gardens
with me and comes pouncing across the yard when I call him, just like a
dog. He is an indoor-outdoor cat; mostly indoor. He sits on the rain barrel
beside the back door and surveys his kingdom, I don't think I could have
just a house cat. We both love the outdoors and that's one reason I love
him so much. We really are kind of soul mates and I don't know what I'd do
without him. Cindy Sopher
