I too have a cat named Samson (15.5 pounds, but we're trying to lose a pound or two on veterinarian's orders). He is a heat-seeking, seven-year-old Siamese gentleman of uncertain temper. He loves his mama, but will latch on to her from time to time when his patience is exhausted. He never breaks the skin, but it's still a rude thing to do, and it earns him a tap on the snoot whenever it happens. Then he pouts. Then he makes up to me. Then I give him a kiss. Then everybody's happy again.
