My sammer died a few years ago and i like people to read this, it gives them a smile. Sammer was quite the character.




To my Samwise, my heart and soul.



Oh Sammerdam, as of right now you are still alive, but anyday now, even today, you could leave me all alone in this world.

You were named for Sam from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Frodo’s faithful companion. You have been my companion every single day since.

My first memory of you was when I brought you home and I wasn’t used to sleeping with an animal. So when you jumped on the bed, I sprayed your face with a squirt gun and tossed you back on the floor. You jumped back on the bed. I squirted you again and tossed you back on the floor. You jumped back on the bed. Finally, after a few minutes of that, you jumped on the bed soaking wet, this tiny kitten determined to be close to me. I gave up and you have slept with me for 21 years. Once you got up, you started nursing on the collar of my pj’s and continued doing that for several years.

Another cute memory I have is when you used to attack my eyeballs!! I’d be on the verge of sleep and bam! Bam! two little paws on each eyeball. Someone suggested to me that it was because my eyes were twitching just before I fell asleep and you were responding to that. Thank God you stopped, or I’d be blind by now!

You were not a sweet, good-natured cat, no, far from it. You were high energy and very cranky. I have permanent scars on my body from our disagreements! You would never allow anyone to touch you, anyone who tried to pet you would leave bleeding. Only mommy was allowed to touch you, and why not? You had too much dignity and didn’t want just anyone touching you. All my friends were afraid of you!

I was always sad that I never met my soul mate, never could live with a man, never had children. It has taken me 21 years to understand that noone ever said my soul mate had to be human. I was so lucky to have you as long as anyone can have a cat, you were determined to be there for me as long as you could. I look at you and cry bitter tears because I can’t stand the thought that any minute now, you will leave me and our great love affair will be over.

You were my first cat. I didn’t know cats could be so sweet, you never were! A lot of people were amazed that I kept you all those years, not a lot of people would put up with a cat that was slightly psycho! Your saving grace was that you loved me, and I always knew that. Today we sit close together, I hold you and cry and tell you I love you a hundred times. I thank God for every minute we have together, I know our minutes together are almost over for this lifetime.

I love you Sammer Dammer with all my heart and soul and I hope there really is life after death so I can see you again. Good-bye my sweet boy, please die peacefully and rest in peace. I love you forever.

He died in my arms a couple of months later.

Lovely memories of a special cat...

That is beautiful. It's such unconditional love. No need to change each other, just acceptance of who and how we are.

You have written a wonderful tribute to a very special cat. He was a real character who gave you unconditional love and support-a true and rare diamond from the sound of him.
RIP Sam you are much loved and never forgotten
