Hi, I’m Smudge. . .
by Elouise
Happy Monday! I’m just back from Smudge’s annual checkup and routine shots. Here, in his very own voice, is the story of his rescue, plus photos. I first published this in September 2014. Today he’s one of the loves of my life. Hope you enjoy his take on the event! Elouise

How’s that for my very first haiku + poem?
I think it’s way past time for you to hear about ME–
straight from the cat’s mouth!

My Short Long Tail Tale of Being Lost and Found
Someone abandoned me in a state park!
Lost, lonely, scared, hungry and soaked with rain,
No one seemed to care about me.
I cried a lot.
One day I looked up and saw two very large, long-hair animals
standing on two legs each.
They smiled a lot, talked sweet and held their arms out to me,
but I knew better.
I wasn’t about to let them get their big paws on me!

Telling the Truth 
awesomeness, awesomeness and double awesomeness ❤ loving' the smudge blog 🙂 I even broke down today whilst at Walmart and bought a (shhh….don't tell) a CAT TOY. Yes, hubby wanted to know at checkout "how that got in the basket" but for 97 cents, figured it would give the evil one something to do besides attack me (my hand still bares the two scratches from yesterday when "princess" didn't get her food when she wanted it) ha! thanks for reposting this, hadn't seen it before ❤

Oh my! Cat toys are such fun. Smudge is old enough that just about any old box will do. However, he still perks up if I happen to reach for the cupboard where he knows I hide certain old favorite toys! Nothing is funnier than a besotted cat chasing after some real or imagined prize! Too bad about the scratches. They can be wicked…and come so quickly you hardly know what happened. I’m glad to say Smudge doesn’t do it often. Still, I keep alcohol wipes handy just in case! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the Smudge factor today! He was a Very Good Cat at the vet’s office. No problems. Just an annual checkup and preventive shot.

she’s enjoying it, licks the feathers but seems a bit disappointed no flavor of bird to it I think 🙂 crazy cat. She doesn’t get me very often, but it’s usually when I lose patience and try to boot her out as she attacks my feet. I guess she’s teaching me, ha!

A very pretty pussy cat 🐱 no doubt, and well named too, I knew a youngster once who shared the name Smudge.

Actually I preferred being called Smudge to Smiffy or what my mother called me, inter alia; Bodger
