A Snoozy Smudge Session

 As determined as I've been to make a concentrated effort to keep Smudge's posts entirely from her perspective, it's hard not to want to simply share some of my favorite photos of her, pictures that need no captions or explanations. Smudge is probably the most quirky, moody & snippety cat we've had, but she has her moments- mostly when she's asleep, of course😊- when her mom and I can't help but look at her and feel our hearts melt away. Smudge just passed her 1-year Gotcha Day with us, so what better time to share the joy she brings us-







And last, I know I said no explanations, but note who still to this day gets more space on the footrest.
Don't these make you want to just curl up and nod off?

At least Smudge is willing to be out in the open where you can see her. That's more than I can say for the cat that lives in this house. Once she goes to bed until lunch time she's out of sight.

Chaplin: "How has it been a year already? Happy Gotcha Day, Smudge!"
Charlee: "I always want to curl up and nap! Preferably on Dada's lap in the office."
Java Bean: "Ayyy, I do the same thing in bed with Mama and Dada, Smudge ― I stretch out my paws and soon the middle of the bed is all mine and Mama and Dada have about a foot each on either side."

Smudge, you are an adorable sleeper. I was happy to see a comment on my blog and came over here to realize that I've missed out on your new blogging activities. I have a lot of catching up to do!

The irresistible urge to take pictures of Smudge is purrfectly understandable! She is such a beautiful kitty. Happy Gotcha Day!

What an adorable curmudgeon. :) You are so blessed, dear Smudge. On a side note, North Carolina's Outer Banks is the place I severely miss visiting. ~sigh~ Blessings to you and your family.

Smudge is such a pretty girl. My Silver was a similar color and temperament. We called her the Princess because of her attitude.

Enjoy your sweet girl!
