I'm glad he's safe and sound with you. I think a children's book is a
great idea. Anything that helps kids learn early to appreciate animals
as individuals with all the emotions and attributes of humans is a good
thing!

I've got Sam here at my house.. he's not going anywhere unless it's a
REALLY good foster home, indoor only of course. Right now he's
snoozing! I kept thinking about a kid's book, or documentary film,
called Sam's Adventure, or Finding Sam, or something!

Hmm... That makes me wonder... I'm sure you told this nice, cat
friendly, (but, cat-less at the moment), woman, Sam's story, right?
Did this woman seem like a suitable adopter except for the fact
that she's living with her Aunt? Is the Aunt a cat-eater, or
anything? If it looked like a good match, I might have pressed the
"well, you did find each other, maybe there's a reason, angle"!
Where is Sam going now? Back to the same foster parent?

She'd been putting out food and milk, trying to attract his
attention and feed him. She's a cat-friendly person, but doesn't
have cats where she lives now (with her Aunt). Then the kids who
came around had kittens - brought them down for us to see, and we
put one in a carrier under the house. Sam was REAL interested but
not ready at that point.

Fantastic! Hooray! How is he? Has the woman who called been
feeding him? Oh Gloria, I'm so thrilled and relieved. Well done!

Just want everybody to know that we FOUND SAM!
Someone called me at 9:30 or so this morning, saying that she'd
seen our poster in the mini-mart, and saw a cat like Sam's
description at her house. I went right over, and there was Sam
under her van in the driveway. Wow!
I couldn't squeeze under the van, but stretched out and gave Sam
some Fancy Feast. I had to slide out at bit and at some point
Sam got scared and ran into the back yard. We attracted some of
the neighborhood kids, too.
Long story short, he jumped over a fence, went under a vacant
house, where there was a live possum and an armadillo, so pretty
soon he was outa there - I was glad! Headed for the next house
and under it. By that time, Susan made it over to where it was
all happening.
Fortunately, the house he was under had only one opening, and had
a pretty neat large crawl space. He kept hiding behind the big
air conditioning stuff and we couldn't get to him.
Susan - in spite of spiders, dirt and claustrophobia - crawled
under and set a couple of traps laced with cat food, mackerel,
salmon juice, and a cup of milk. We sat in the driveway just
about all day, except for a 2 hour break, checking under the
house and eating junk food.
About 9:15 or so tonight, Sam just walked up to the access door.
Susan said, he's right there! We talked to him and I reached my
hand in and petted him, I think he remembered me - nd pretty soon
grabbed him. He tried to get away, and Susan scruffed him and
got him to the car and WE GOT OUR SAM BACK - YEAA! He was doing
the Siamese meow-meow all the way home, and it was great to hear!
Thanks to you all for all your wonderful help!!
