    Sammy was a grand old man. He was born in 1991, he came to us when he was 5 – picked out by our then 6 year old son, Matt. Matt and Sam were inseparable. That cat loved that boy – he’d follow him around with adoration written all over his face as he gazed at “his” boy. Matt graduated from High School this year – my how time flew by. Sam had been suffering the past few years from kidney disease and was on 2 types of medication. In addition to the kidney trouble, he also had thyroid issues and a heart murmur. When we first brought him home, he was a huge guy – 22 pounds. When we said goodbye to him a week ago, he was down to 10.6 pounds – a mere shadow of the cat he used to be. It’s a different world in the Florack household now. Our 2 female cats are fighting a lot – jockeying for position – Sam was the stabilizing influence. He didn’t have to do anything to keep the peace – other than just be there. Sam, we love you and miss you terribly. Enjoy the extra catnip there in kitty heaven, wrestle with Ray, and talk to your straws until we meet again, big guy.
