Hi friends – my name is Smudge! Along with Mani, I like to meet our visitors at the door and welcome them. I ask everyone to pick me up, so I can make sure they know what they are doing before they go see the other cats. I prefer to be held like a baby. That way I can see your face. Once you pass the hold test, I may need to check out your lap for comfort as well. This can be time consuming, but I insist on doing a thorough evaluation and making sure everyone is qualified before they meet my friends. Feel free to pet me and brush me as well. I’m happy to help you improve your cat care skills! That’s just the kind of sweet girl I am. I’ve known Booger, Tinker and Skye most of my life – we were all at the same shelter and arrived here as kittens in August 2010, although I was a little older than they were. I like to help Booger and Skye with giving baths and watching out over the CH kitties (especially that cute little PP!), but my main job here is making sure visitors know proper cat cuddling. Have a pawsome day everybody!
