My brother recently told me that one of his friends gave in to his son's demands for a kitten so they went to the local RSPCA shelter to choose one. However, when the young boy saw a 3 year old tabby cat, he just had to have him. The cat now has a new home and is named "Sailor Sam". I'm sure Samson would have got a kick out of having a new generation of cats growing up named after his picture book character. Annecdotes like this are what makes writing and illustrating children's books so worthwhile.
