My name is Samuel Sewell.  Because I am a black cat, I am named for {Judge} Samuel Sewall who presided over the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.  I live all alone except for my three live in servants: the butler, the maid and the cook.  They appear to be very honoured to look after all of my needs, and they don't mind a bit if I wake them up during the small hours of the morning to fix me a snack.
