The Smudge Report
Smudge is doing well at Grandma's. I got to spend some time with him after he had his weekly fluid treatment. Although he seems to be stabilizing, there is something about him that just seems diminished somehow. I can't put my finger on it but it haunts me.
Since Magoo and Baci had to go to the V-E-T on Saturday, my wife and I decided that we could just head to Grandma's right afterwards with boy boys in tow. We thought it might be good for both Magoo and Smudge to know that the other was still around. I had read that cats can develop anxiety if they see cats being taken out of the house and never see them again. They are smart enough to start associating the PTU with leaving and not coming back.
It was somewhat heartbreaking to see Smudge nuzzle his brother Magoo. He knew who Magoo was and he still loves his brother. Magoo was so tired after his V-E-T visit that he just curled up and started to go to sleep in the sink. I have a picture and I will update this post as soon as I get it from Grandma.

You may call me Madness. Panther Madness.
Oh, I'm so very excited that I'm now a House Panther! Thanks for inviting me. Bubbles is very jealous.
I asked The Freak to take a special picture of me outside in the sun so I can look especially Panthery.
Now I just hope I can live up to being a House Panther.
Oh, I was so excited I almost forgot to say that you can also visit me at the blog I share with the 2Bs.

Hello to all my fellow Panthers! I'm Abbie of the Cats Stephens, I'm the latest addition to their family. I was so excited when Grr, Cocoa and Midnight invited me to join your group as I have always known I was panther, but it's nice to make it official. I am still getting used to the camera and all the pcitures mommy and daddy like to take of us. Here I'm trying to show off my long and sassy tail.

Smudge Report
Smudge is thriving. He weighs about the same as the last time I reported, but his coat has lost a lot of the brown twinges we were seeing due to CRF. A note of advice to anyone who has a Black Cat. Because it is chemically impossible to affect a True Black in nature, the closer an animal, who is supposed to be black, can sustain that mirage the better the apparent health of that animal.
Smudge, during his worst episodes, was showing brown at the fringes of his coat. His health was such that he could no longer maintain the mirage of "True Black".
I am happy to say that for the last two weeks he has lost all sign of brown in his coat. But, I am sad to have to report this next update.
Grandma told me that Smudge has been waking her up in the middle of the night. He pulls the blankets from her face and places his paw on her cheek. I know that Grandma reads the blogs so she sees all the goofy things I write about myself, her daughter and the the cats. But I don't know if she ever read Smudge's Tail of Devoshun.
I do not know if she understands the significance of Smudge's paw on her cheek. She is not specific as to what paw it is but I know which one it is. When the world is quiet and still, Smudge has been softly pulling the covers back from Grandma's face, and he has been placing his right paw on her cheek.
Smudge is trying to tell her in his own way that he loves her. The way he used to tell me.
As soon as she told me what Smudge had done, I knew what he was trying to tell her. I took me 8 years to figure it out. I thought about telling her my thoughts on Smudge's Two Paws, but I know that she will figure it out for herself.
I am no longer Smudge's Purrson.
With that knowledge, I turn ownership of the House Panthers to Huggy Bear, Turtle, Grr, Midnight, Cocoa, Buzzerbee and Meep.
