Sammi, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sammi
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico, Tabby mix
Home: Minnesota, USA
 
   Sammi is an indoor-outdoor kitty who loves her tummy rubs and ear rubs. We first found Sammi in a small cage at pet smart when she was four months old. Despite her crusty eyes, ringworm (we had no idea!), earmites, and three parasites, we immediately adopted her! The first thing we did when we got home was give her a nice bath (not exactly her idea of nice), and when we took her to the vet, we found out about all her parasites and discovered she weighed less than a pound! For a few months, Sammi was a shy, timid kitty, but gradually became friendlier and friendlier. Now Sammi is a plump, healthy cat who chases us up the stairs, plays hide and seek with us, sleeps on my bed, and wrestles with her new baby sister, Puff. Sammi has also brought us little gifts of three mice and two birds. One night Sammi just insisted on staying out all night and in the middle of the night, my parents woke up to a screeching sound. They got up, and sure enough, there was Sammi, frightened as could be, waiting to come inside. The next day she slept all day. Now she always comes in after dark - smart kitty. Sammi will always be special to us!
