Sammi, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sammi
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Longhair mix
Home: Memphis, Texas, USA
 
   Sammi, possibly a Siamese/Himalayan/Munchkin mix, is my best friend. She was rescued by a neighbor about a year before I met her. As the neighbor rescues animals, he has each spayed/neutered, then feeds, waters and keeps an eye on them. But Sammi wanted a closer friend, so she started hanging out at my house when she saw me out gardening. Before I knew it, she had chirupped her way into my heart. She is now a full-time pet who gets to go outside whenever it's warm enough. Memphis is a very small town (about 2,300) and everyone looks out for everyone else, and everyone else's pets, too. So there's not much to worry about when she goes out.

    Sammi is very talkative and has clear words for "open the door," "my food bowl is empty" and "please play with me!" And she will converse with you for a long time before getting bored with it. She really loves to be brushed each evening while we're watching tv and will duck her head under the brush to get me started. She has her own toy box, her own pillow on the bed, and her favorite spots to hide and nap. She loves to run up and down the stairs every night just when it's time to settle down for bed. She wakes me up in the morning with the lightest possible touch of her claws on my arm. She is not a big kisser.

    Sammi has the fluffiest, softest fur imaginable and it's nice to have her near me. I hope she will be there for many years to come.
