Sammy was the name of a very sweet resident of NOTASULGA (an area within 10 miles of Auburn homes) who recently passed away. For years, Sammy daily wandered across the street to the local post office, and perched himself in the sunny window. He'd become a well-known and loved part of the community that respected him like a good, gentle neighbor, who simply minded his own business and let his coat shine. One day a local resident began to complain about the feline presence at the post office. It wasn't just allergies, but the fact that the post office was a government business, which was no place for animals. So Sammy was stripped of any squatter rights and removed from his sunny perch in the post office window. People protested. One resident purchased Sammy his own mailbox, so he could be considered a citizen of sorts, and be entitled to occupy space inside the post office. Sammy began to get letters from all over the country. The residents only loved him more---except for one.  The Post Office reinforced its decision to not let Sammy come inside the government building. Shortly after he started taking up residence at the tax preparer's office, Sammy met his unfortunate fate in the streets.
