Sammy was born in the spring of 1994 in the front seat of MY (Erich's)
1969 Camaro. I had the car stored in my garage with the windows down
(oops!) for that winter. Momma Kitty, a wild feline, apparently
lived in my garage, and when she decided to have baby kitties... got cozy
in the front seat of my "hopeful" car restoration, and had a litter.
I found the little baby kitties, with their eyes still closed, when one
morning I wanted to get my car out of storage to drive. I donned
some chemical gloves, and removed the kittens one by one into a box for
the Wild Momma kitty to come and get them. She did as expected, and
removed her babies after I went back in the house. Shortly there
after, I came back to the garage to take my car to work. Drove off
to work, worked, and then left work to come home. When I got to my
car... AAACK! a kitten was still in my car! I got home late that
night, again donned the chemical gloves, grabbed the kitten, and stuck it
in the box as I had done with the rest. I hoped as before that Momma
kitty would hear the kitten's cries and come and get her last baby.
The weather turned cold again (this was in Illinois), so I didn't drive my
car again for a week, but at least I rolled up the windows this time. A week
(yes 7 DAYS) passed before I went back out to the garage (it was a detached
garage in the back of the house) to hear a squeaking kitten that was
barely alive. Yup, I felt horrible! Seven days that kitten
starved in the box I placed her (no food or water... dah, baby kittens eat
mother's milk so she didn't have that either). I was convinced that
she was a goner! I brought her into the house, went to the nearest
pet store, and got replacement formula for wild animals. My
wonderful wife started to nurses her back to health. My son, also
known to you gamers as Kondore, decided her name was Sammy. He
doesn't remember why, nor did we know why he called her that at the time.
However, Sammy has since been a big part of our family. She... yes
she , but the Counter-Strike Sammy is me.. a HE, is the greatest!
A very affectionate cat, who treats each one in our family differently. She still thinks Kondore is
the lowest on the pecking order of our family, but yet she loves him the
most. Ask Kondore about it! She is one great cat! So
therefore, in all her smallness she gets a small amount of honor by me
using her name as my screen name. : ) Also, there's something
rather funny about a domesticated house cat running around with guns
slaying people! You can e-mail SammyCat! |
