This is a commissioned work of Samson, a beloved Silver Maine Coon cat who has now passed. I asked Samson's mom to write a description of him. And here it is: "Samson was a big nonsense biscuit.

A once in a lifetime gift from above."

Such an amazing description. I can perfectly picture Samson and it's obvious that he was very much loved.
