Cat Valentine and Sam Puckett are the two title characters of Sam & Cat, and they are best friends and roommates. The pairing of the characters is often referred to as Sat (S/am and C/at) or Puckentine (Puck/ett and Val/entine). The pairing of the characters is never referred to as Cam (C/at and S/am), because that refers to an iCarly pairing.
