Cousins

Oh, Smudge is here at last! His Mom brought a very nice condo for him to climb on, and it has a place to eat his food if he doesn't want to share ours. The thing is, when he got out of his carrier, he went and hid under Her recliner chair, and di9dn't want to come out. She had warned me not to be too pushy with him. Just let him get used to being here, She said. Sooner or later, he'll come out, and then we are supposed to act as if he's one of the family, not just company. I am trying to be patient, because I want to play with him. Kasey went to check him out as soon as he came in. She kind of likes that cat condo that he has. Smudge better get into it soon, or he might find a grumpy old cousin in it!
I had to laugh at Her. She told Smudge's Mom to bring her own tea to the birthday party, because S'sM always has wonderful tea and all She has is regular store tea. Can you believe She would make someone bring their own tea? We didn't have birthday cake, but She served these little round things with whipped cream inside. Their name is cream puffs, and that is just what they are. A cat could get used to a treat like that. I hope there are some left! I am going to check on that right now. Stay tuned for Adventures With Smudge. Later, gator.
