My Sampson
By Monica on November 29th, 2007
With his insurmountable pride and dignity intact, Sampson left us yesterday after an ultrasound revealed diseases that even his indomitable courage and fighting spirit could not overcome. His quirk and snark were surpassed only by his sense of humor and enormous heart. His constant voice and warm snuggles will be missed terribly.
Ray Frenden says:
It’s comforting that we got a few last pictures of him. I miss him so much.

I’m very sorry to hear about your cat — mine is also getting old, and I’m afraid his time is coming soon. He looks like he would have been a wonderful companion!

I’m really sorry to hear about your cat, by the way. I love my cat more than anything — I’ll be devastated when he goes. It’s funny that you know where Braidwood is! And yes, the only thing close IS Naperville — how funny. Maybe one day we’ll see each other in a store there and never even know. It is true that Normal is not that veg friendly! Even the vegetarian places have few vegan options, and they’re not that healthy anyway!

Oh Monica, I’m sincerely sorry to hear about your buddy, Sampson. It’s so hard to lose a pet, especially one who’s so close to your heart.
He was such a beautiful cat - thank you for sharing his picture with all of us.
And don’t worry, I’m sure he’s frolicking around in kitty heaven right now, making friends with my former cats, Nicky & Nicky Jr.
My thoughts are with you.
