Dear Smudge,

I don't really like it when mom tries to get the stuff out of my eyes, or when she squeezes my feet to clip my claws. She says it's because I don't lose them in the carpet as much as I used to, so she wants to clip them for me. I really like it when she combs me! I purr to show her how much I enjoy it. Mom has never done much with my ears so I will make sure she sees your tip about the sock. I do paw at my ears sometimes and she always wonders why.

That's all for now, think I will hop up to my favorite spot and meow, and see if she will comb me! Aaah, kitty massage!

Purrs, Cassie
