Samson and Da’lilah
We all know the biblical story of Delilah who seduces Samson and cuts his hair while he sleeps, robbing him of all his strength. This is not that story…
Instead, a story of Da’lilah (we call her Lilah) who, in an instant, seduced me at the SPCA in California back in 2007. Although we were looking for a black kitten, the calico seductress only needed for me to look her in the eyes and my metaphorical hair was cut. I recall the thought that rolled through my head when I saw her, “Oh dang it, now we are getting two cats“. She came home with me that day and has been here ever since.
