This is a story about our first two cats, Sam and Fidget. Sam was orange with darker orange stripes, and Fidget was dark gray. My dad took Rebekah to the pet store on her 7th birthday and she picked out a kitten, which she named Sam. Sam was a very mischievous kitten. He would climb on shelves and knock things down sometimes. Once, we couldn't find him for about an hour. Then he mysteriously reappeared, meowing his cute little meow. He had been hiding in a pile of some things we left on the floor.
My mom baked a cake for Kath's birthday. She left it to cool on the rack, and left for a few minutes. When she came back, Sam was sitting on the table, busily eating the top of the cake. Thanks a lot, Sam!
Fidget was wild when we got her. She had been born outside, and didn't like to be petted very much; that's why my dad named her Fidget. But she turned into a "people cat" loving to be petted and brushing against our legs. She was an expert hunter. One time she presented Sam with a chipmunk she had caught, but Sam was too lazy to eat it, so she ended up eating it herself. She would catch mice, too.
And all the birds and squirrels expressed their outrage when she went outside!

Fidget had several litters of kittens that Sam was obviously not the father of. They were so cute! We found out who at least one of the fathers was when we went to a garage sale. The lady there had a cat that resembled the most recent litter. My dad asked her, and she said she had seen a cat that resembled Fidget hanging around. We put ads in the paper for the kittens and always got way too many calls for them. "Sorry, sir. Should have called 2 weeks ago if you wanted one of the kittens!"
And that is the story of our first 2 cats!
