Way to go, Smudge! It is amazing how our kitties just seem to know when something isn't right. A few years ago I broke my wrist and wound up in a cast. Groucho would frequently rub against it, gently touch my fingers with his paw, and became the ultimate velcro kitty.

Glad to know you're feeling better now. Could I ask you to give Smudge some scritchies and lovies from me?
