This is our tribute
to Samson, an adorable four week old orange kitten. We only had him
for one week but in that short span of time, he successfully stole our
hearts, gifting us with smiles and laughter. We never heard how he lost
touch with his mother, only heard all his siblings had died.
From the start,
we were amazed at his spunk and stamina, reflected by a loud cry for
his bottle. He had a motor engine purr. He knew how to get and keep
your attention, informing you he was in control of the situation and
you. He loved to nestle and sleep on your neck, in your arms, content
as long as he felt your touch and warmth. I carried him around on my
waist in a fanny pack most of the time (with little hand towels under
him). There, he would sleep peacefully for a long while or until he
was hungry again. He nursed about every three to four hours.
Sadly, something
went wrong today. He became partially paralyzed and we had to have him
put to sleep. Now, there’s a hole in our hearts where he made his
imprint.. So, this is our tribute to a beautiful little creature of
God, sent here to bless us for too short a time, now safe, happy and
whole in a better place.
Thank you, Samson,
we love you and will never forget you.
