Sam is a cat, and a rare example of a non-human familiar. He appears in What We Do in the Shadows (TV series). No one knows much about Sam or his vampire/possibly owner. But he is well liked among the human familiars.
Biography[]
Guillermo was introduced to Sam, the familiar of an unknown vampire, by Colby in the familiars’ room of The Sassy Cat Club in Manhattan. As Colby left, Sam was seen urinating in one of the buckets being used as a toilet.[1]
The following year, an apparent newly-turned vampire named Celeste took on multiple familiars at once, including Sam and eventually Guillermo, and invited them to live in her luxury Staten Island apartment while her former master Houston was away. Sam was very useful and popular with the group, supposedly laying out a table of snacks before Guillermo arrived. However, Houston surprised Celeste by coming back early, forcing Celeste to admit she was only pretending to be a vampire as Houston and her friends went on a rampage, eating the familiars. Celeste begged Guillermo to save Sam during the attack. They escaped the carnage, Guillermo shielding him with what appeared a blanket and let him go on the streets once they were safe. It is likely that they were the only two familiars to survive the incident.[2]
