Managemysite, obviously you are new here at Pet Talk and you don't know Samantha as well as I do. I don't know anything about you or your pets either, maybe you could make an introduction thread so we can get to know you and your pets better.
Shais mom stated it well, my cat Samantha is a very well behaved senior citizen cat who turned 18 years old in June. You can even go look up her Cat of the Day page for June 26th of this year if you want to know more about her.
She has lived with goldfish, a parakeet, two gerbils and now our new hamster and two betta fish and never ever has she threatened them. I always supervise my pets closely and I even put tape on the ball so there is no chance of my hamster getting out.
I do see your point that most young active cats cannot be trusted around a small pet like a hamster but I assure you that my pets are just fine together.

Shais mom, thank you very much for sticking up for me and Samantha.
Samantha sends many purrs and headbumpies your way.

Thank you to everyone else for the nice comments as well.
