SMUDGE
SMUDGE WAS UNCLE MICHAEL'S NICKNAME WHEN HE WAS IN THE ARMY SO IT SEEMED A GOOD NAME TO GIVE HIS CAT
THIS IS WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE AS A KITTEN
HE HAS A BLANK STARE
BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM AT NIGHT WHEN HE WAS AT HIS DIABOLICAL WORST.
HE WAS TAUGHT THIS TRICK BY A WITCH WHO USED TO VISIT HIM ON HER BROOMSTICK. SHE ALSO TAUGHT HIM TO LEAP ONTO PEOPLE'S BACKS AND CLAW HIMSELF UP. BELIEVE ME, IT HURT. NOW THAT HE HAS GROWN UP HE WOULDN'T HURT A FLY.
