SAM THE WONDER CAT IS UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS - somewhat!

Sis Linda and her sidekick Bobby pretty much closed up all of Sam's escape hatches on the screened in deck back in early August, but he is still in fine fettle when it comes to intimidating each and every dog in the neighborhood. He stands in front of the front screen door and hisses at them as they are walked by the house every afternoon, just to remind them that he's still around! I find it hilarious although some of the dog walkers are puzzled by why on earth their bulldog or German shepherd seems to be terrified of an ordinary house cat. Little do they know!

Once darkness has fallen and Sam is done hanging by the front door, he strolls back to my recliner, hops on my lap and chirps as if to tell me that he has done his job for the day! What a character. Is it any wonder that I love him so?

Don't mess with SAM!

My sister's 85 pound pit bull mix is afraid of Sam. Zeus LOVES cats - in fact he has a Siamese cat of his own - and he was extremely offended that Sam took an instant dislike to him (as Sam does with all canine critters), then his feelings were hurt!
