Another thing I love about Smudge is how smart he is, how he figures out how to communicate with me. This morning he was giving me Purr Therapy (sitting/napping on me before I get up) and I went to pet him, and he kept turning his head until my hand landed on a blob of tangled fur just back of his left ear. I'd consistently missed it with the brush (I'm gingerly around his ears because he's had lesions on them lately) and he couldn't reach it with his tongue, so he showed me where it was so I could pull it out with my fingers - and just sat there purring, nice and still, while I worked it out.

Love, Columbine
