Pet of the Day: Sam
Hopefully this lovely picture will give you something to smile about on Christmas day. The proud dad is Gareth Ashurst.
"This is Sam, our nine weeks old, rescue kitten now living in Waikanae.
Kittens are supposed to sleep for 18 to 20 hours a day....I think Sam needs a new clock as he never sleeps anywhere close to this and seems to spends all day running round at top speed!"
