Meet Sam.

Sam is my roommate here at The Bachelor Pad, and he helps me keep it real.

Being that awesome is exhausting work.

I got him last summer around my birthday when he was about 8 weeks old and not much bigger than a Diet Coke can. Originally, I had no intention of getting an orange tiger (my parents have two); I wanted a black tiger kitten like my parents’ first cat Scooter, who I was responsible for once I was old enough. But the only black tiger kitten there, who I believe was named Jaws, liked to bite anybody just a little too much, and once I got in the room with Sam, he started purring right away. That kind of decided it.

Had I not decided on a name before a kitten, Sam probably would have been named Hobbes (and it would have been perfect), but instead, he’s named after this guy:

I have no children to name after him, so I named a cat after him instead. This frees up my firstborn to be named Chuck Finley.

For those who do not know, the guy pictured above is Sam Axe (from Burn Notice), one of the more rockin’ bachelors. He likes hot women, cold drinks, and taking it easy. And, by coincidence, so does (my) Sam.

And that’s all about Sam. If you think the furry little guy is cute, there are more pictures here.
