Pet of the week - Sam

He lives with three other cats – Chloe, Sophie and Cora – in Blandford Close, Tyldesley, and is nearing his first birthday.

His owner Neil Morrison said: “Sam has made a big impact on our lives.

“He is my shadow – he is always around me.

“He loves to eat and is often squeaking in the kitchen or wandering round looking for someone to feed him as he doesn’t have much of a meow. After eating he enjoys nothing better than snuggling up on my chair as soon as I get up from it.

“I must admit I have nearly sat on him a few times as he blends in with my black gaming chair.

“As he approaches his first birthday he is growing up to be a lovely cat.”
