We received an email from our friend who let us know that Sam is settling in his new home just fine so far. She said her 100 pound black lab -- whose name is Howard, not Harvey-- was frightened of Sam, but they're OK with each other.
Here's the thing. R said it was coyotes attacking the cats in The Woods, and I didn't know there were coyotes in the North East, so I learned two things new because R's dad said it isn't really coyotes eating the cats; it's fisher cats eating the cats. I'd never heard of such a thing, and R described it to me, but when I looked it up, that fisher cat didn't look anything like what he described, and it isn't really a cat at all, and it doesn't eat fish. It looks like a cross between a bear and a weasel.
Now R says he's never seen a fisher cat in The Woods, and it's probably the wolves eating the cats. I said I don't want to be eaten by wolves either, but R says I'm more likely to be chased by wild turkeys.
In any case, Sam is better off here with Howard. We miss his yowling ways, though.
