Canon
Before they even met, Sam and Cat's paths already crossed. In the "iparty with Victorious" episode when Sam flew to LA, with Carly and Freddie. Although they never spoke with each other then, they already crossed paths. However, soon their lives would intercept. When Carly left to go live with her dad in Italy, Sam drove off on her motorcycle, ending up in LA. There, she goes straight to a food truck, and without noticing her, Cat passes her by in her pink bicycle. As Cat saves a kitten she found in a trash can she got into, Sam watches from afar in amusement. But, when Cat gets launched into a garbage truck, Sam rushes to rescue her and literally gets inside the trash can to get Cat out. As a way to show her gratitude, Cat invites Sam to take a bath at her Nona's house.

Then, after Sam spends some days with Cat and they start forming a deeper bond, she decides to stay with her: "I kinda don't have anywhere I really need to be. And you kinda seem like you need a roommate." When Cat hears of this news, she jumps on Sam, hugging her tightly, and exclaiming that this is the best day of her life.

From then on, their relationship strengthened even more and the two of them even started a baby-sitting business. Also, although Sam is a very tough person, who rarely shows her sensitive side, she supports Cat when she's at her lowest and when she cries, since it hurts Sam seeing Cat hurt. Cat, on the other hand, even gets jealous of Sam. Like when her friend from school, Jade, came to visit and started spending most of time with Sam, this made Cat extremely jealous. After this, Sam decides to do an exhibition trick, by jumping over a pool of sharp-toothed tuna fish, with her motorcycle. When Cat finds out about this, she completely forgets she was really mad at Sam and goes for her to put her life in risk to keep Sam safe from the trick.
