You could say that Smudge is a discerning feline. She has her favorite things and her favorite people.

Smudge appears to prefer being in the company of men. It takes her awhile to warm up to new people. When she feels comfortable she will give her permission for gentle touch. She will also tell you when it’s time to stop.

Recently Smudge was given a job at the shelter. She was put in charge of the kitchen where cat food is stored. Her job is mouse catcher. She likes the freedom of not being in a kennel and walks around the shelter likes she owns the place. The cat is in charge when Smudge is around.

Smudge would love to be in charge of your home. She will thrive in a home living with someone that knows that cats rule.
