I wanted a black cat character since I love black cats so much :>

I named her Samantha because my black cat was originally named that when I rescued her from a shelter.... but my real name is also Samantha, and my mom wouldn't let me change my own name :B So I renamed my cat Tabitha.

I figure Sam here will be a sort of secondary fursona for me. Silvie is still me, but her markings are complicated enough that cosplaying her would be pretty expensive. I have an adorable black cat halloween costume this year (Rosie and Robert are also going as black cats, so we'll be obnoxious and matching!!), so I figured if I ever managed to go to a convention or something, this is the costume I could wear and the character I could go as C:

I made her longhair in memory of the little longhair black kitten we fostered this summer, who didn't make it. She would have been so beautiful if she had :'( I've always wanted a longhair cat, so Sam here will get to be mine!
