Until I came upon this one I had forgotten that Granma and Granpa once had a cat! Name of Sam. They even used to take him on outings and trips. For example, Granpa liked to rent a little cottage at a housekeeping colony in Hampton Bays (the working-class Hampton) on Long Island and go fishing every day. Judy and I went to see them there once. Granpa would be out on the fishing boat for 12 hours while Granma hung out with the other "fishing widows" in the other cottages. When Granpa came back with a load of fish, everybody (including Sam) would feast on charcoal-grilled fresh fish.
