A basket of kittens
Our favorite cat (and that’s saying a lot because we have many if you count the ones populating our barn) died on January 12th at 7:00 in the morning. He was a seal point Siamese and I can remember the intense anticipation with which we awaited his arrival into the world. I am generally not a purebred snob, but I love Siamese cats and so he was ordered in advance of his birthday, December 23, 2002. The breeder sent us this picture of a basket full of kittens which we printed and posted on our refrigerator while we endured another two months of waiting.
Bringing Sam home
We finally got word that he was available to be picked up and Thomas and I made the trek up to Fort Collins to retrieve him. He (the cat, not Thomas) cried all the way home. I still remember that. He has been around since the kids were little (they’re big teenagers now), always ready to warm a lap or to play and there is a hole around here that is empty because he is gone. He was a sweet, affectionate and intelligent cat. We will miss him so much.
Sam's grave
