My pet's quirk(s)
Samson taps you with his front paw when he wants your attention (especially when he's hungry.) Although he has multiple water fountains, he prefers to drink out of the bathroom fountain.

Please provide a short bio/story of your pet(s)
When I met Samson, I was at CAS with a friend who was looking for a pet. I had lost my kitty to liver failure 6 months prior and was not yet looking for another cat. I fell in love and knew it was meant to be the second I saw Samson. A flamepoint Selkirk Rex was my dream cat but I never thought I would have one in my life because I feel so strongly about adopting animals.
Samson did have some behavior issues at first and was extremely territorial around other cats and fearful of dogs. With time, he has learned that he is safe in our home and has blossomed into a funny, loving kitty.
His favorite past times are watching birds out the window, lounging on top of cat tunnels, playing hide and seek and convincing people to scratch behind his ears.
