Arrival Story: Sami was rescued from a farm where the owner was trying to kill her. Fortunately, my ex brought her home (the only good thing he ever did) as a surprise for me. He had her in his pocket, and when I first saw her, she was just shaking terribly. I scooped her up and cuddled her close to me. She was so scared. I took her to the kibble and the poor thing was so hungry she gobbled it up, like crazy and started growling at me, so I wouldn't take it away. I had another kitty, Tiger that was four. She took it upon herself to act in the role of Mommy. Once Sami felt comfortable, she followed Tiger everywhere, did whatever she did. Sami never did get used to men, it took her a long time to finally feel safe with me. She did not like strangers, she would run and hide. She really only came by me. This was my special kitty. I kept her safe whenever she felt un-sure. She used to cuddle up with me under the blankets and go to sleep. She did finally get used to one man, my second husband. But it took her a long time before she let her guard down with him. Sami was a nipper, she wasn't properly socialized with her brothers and sisters so when she got to excited she would nip you. I still have a couple of those love bites. Memories.
Bio: Our little Sami passed away from cancer at age 12.

My story:
I was brought home by a mean man. I did not like him. I was scared. But then, I heard a soft voice say, Hi sweetheart. That was my Mommy. Mommy was wonderful. She loved me so much. I never did like that man and was really glad when he was gone. Then one day another man started coming around. My sister just loved him and that man so loved her. Tiger would sit on his lap for hours and purr herself to sleep. I kept my distance, was the like the other one? I didn't think so, because he kept trying to be nice to me with treats and bringing out my favorite toy. I was not going to be easy! So I watched him, for a month. He sure treated Mommy nice, he didn't yell and scream. Hmm, maybe he was okay. Then one day, I broke down and decided to check him out. WOW! He was great! He let me drink water out of a cup. This sure beat the bowl on the floor. You may think that I ended up being a Daddy's girl, but think again. I was all Mommy. Slept by Mommy every night, cuddled up under the blankets next to her. I loved my Mommy more than anything in the world. She always looked out for me, made sure that I was safe. It was really hard for Mommy when the doctor told her that I had cancer. She cried for days. But her love for me just grew and grew, just like my love for her. I miss Mommy. I watch over her from heaven and keep her safe just like she did for me. When my cancer came back and I had a stroke, I kept fighting, just for her. But then, I just couldn't hold on anymore. I heard her keep telling me that it was okay to go and that she loved me very much. I didn't know what that meant then. Her and Daddy helped me cross the bridge the next day. Our last day together was special. She stayed home and it was just me and her. She took me outside and we sat in the swing and she whispered in my ear how much she loved me through her tears. I tried to tell her that I loved her too, but I was so weak. I know that Mommy felt guilty about going on vacation and missing out on those last healthy weeks, but what she didn't know is, I wasn't healthy, but I was waiting for her to come home. So we could spend one last day together. And we did. I love you Mommy.

Dear Sami,
Seven years ago today, I said good-bye to my sweet little girl. You were suffering from mammory cancer and had suffered a stroke the week before. All your life, you were so scared and timid, yet in your last days, you found the strength to be strong - for me. I loved you from the first moment I saw you, and from that day on, I did everything possible to make you safe and loved. When you met your daddy, you made sure he would never hurt me, or you, or Tiger and when you gave me the paw of approval, we all moved forward to our happy family.
I miss you so much. I miss feeling your little body, all cuddled up next to me under the blankets in bed, purring yourself to sleep. I miss seeing those big green eyes looking at me with all the love you had. I miss seeing how you always made sure that daddy left the door open just a crack, so if you wanted to run back in the house you could. I miss seeing you and Tiger curled up together taking a nap on the bed. I just, just miss you so.
I know you watch over me from heaven, and sometimes, I can hear your purr and your quiet meows. You always live in my heart, and I will never forget you - my little Sami Boo.
Hi Mommy,
I just want you to know that I'm with you today. I know how hard today is for you. Even after all these years, it's still so hard for you, knowing that your mommy is here with us, as an angel.
Grandmaw is always with you, through good days and bad and she is so proud of you. Just like me and Tiger, we may not be with you on Earth, but we are always with you, in your heart.
Try and remember all the times you spent together, how she made you laugh when she did all those silly things, how she taught you to put others first and how much she loved you.
Look for the butterfiles she is sending to you today, to let you know that she is always here.
Hi Daddy!
Happy Father's Day!!!
Today, I want everycat to know just what a great dad you really are. You see, for those that don't know me, I almost didn't make it. Where I was born, the owner of the property, was trying to "get rid of me". Luckily, the man who was married to my mommy at the time rescued me. (mom says that was the only good thing he ever did)
Anycat, I was deathly afraid of men and had a rough life. Well, that mean man is gone and things certainly got better.
Daddy was patient with me and let me take my time to trust him. He knew I was timid and scared and he loved me anyway. When we'd all go outside while he cooked on the grill, he always left the door open - just a crack - so if I got scared, I could run in the house. He let me drink water out of his cup. He let me cuddle up on his lap when I was ready.
I love my daddy with every fur on my body. I knew he would take good care of us, and especially mommy. Thank you daddy for giving me the best 6 years of my life. I'm just sorry that I didn't know you from the furry beginning, but better late than never and I'm glad I had you with me during the last years of my life.
