Smudge

This cat, by name Smudge, has recently come to live in the country with @ViolaMaths and @agnieszkasshoes.

She is a very fine animal indeed, and I made friends with her today. She seems to like humans, and demands attention by using a paw to guide a human's hand to stroke her. At first the paw is wondrously soft, but if the human does not respond at first, she slowly, and very slightly, extends her claws.

Although I have selected this photograph for today's Blip, one image alone does not really do justice to the lovely Smudge. So I've mounted a few more on TwitPic to provide a portrait gallery for the charming lady. Thet are to be found

sprawled out here; and

seated in this image; and

finally in this relaxed pose.

Smudge, I was very happy to meet you!
