Blog posts are going to be a bit sporadic over the next little while as we’re back to where we were with Smudge last November — back to syringe feeding, et cetera. We’re not sure if the loss of Lester is what has brought this back or if it was a normal progression but, whatever the cause, my attention is going to be pretty much focused on Smudge.
I am leaving comments open for now but will likely only be responding to them with brief updates via blog posts.

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune-without the words,
And never stops at all………

Follow your blog regularly and I was so sorry when Lester passed. Now your Smudge is ill….thought he was doing better. Anyway, just want you to know I’m sorry and pray he gets better. Loved seeing all the great pictures of your kitties. Lester was the biggest ‘kitty’ I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing your fur babies with the rest of us. Pat Mc
