My Little Boy Sammy

When we moved to our house, we suddenly noticed a beautiful white cat with a black tail kept appearing on our doorstep. I thought it was a stray and gave it some tuna fish, wrong move! He kept returning and eventually we found out that he stayed further up our street, but would always return to us.

Unfortunately, he developed kidney problems and we had to get him put to sleep. I was so distraught and it was by total coincidence that I was up at our local supermarket which has a pet shop and I started talking to the sales assistant, who said she was fostering a cat who was also called Sammy.

We found out she stayed next door to my aunt and when we saw Sammy, we totally fell in love with him. He is a British Blue Cross Breed, who was mistreated. We took him home and he did behind the sofa for a week and I stayed with him. At night, he suddenly crept up beside me and he is now the master of our house! He has beds all over the place, but he loves to cuddle up to my partner and I. He has never bothered to scratch or bite us and he is the most wonderful companion.

It seems that fate intervened and we love him to bits!!
