Well, the control thing answers a lot, but I knew that. Even I have to ask permission to touch him. He also hides when he goes any place new.

He used to be buddies with Spunky so I am not sure if something happened or what. Sam didn't like me for several months. He was a feral from a barn that I adopted at 9 weeks old.

For the longest time he thought Spunky was the "bringer of the food". When he was hungry, he would go get Spunky, who would come and get me.

Laugh all you want. He's not terribly bright, but he is my Sam.
