When she gets up in the morning and she plays with your shoelaces, you'd never guess she was sixteen years old. Also, we spent the first 8 years of her life believing that she was a he. The shelter from where she was adopted and had her vet care listed her as a he so we just went along with it. When my mother moved to Idaho and brought her to the vet there, the truth was revealed...LOL..So, hence, we have Sam(antha) cat....
