Despite a congenital heart defect, for 19 years Smudgelette has been trying to make her human adhere to a schedule and lead a healthier life. She is very vocal, initiating conversations and responding to what humans say with a large vocabulary. Smudgelette encourages her person to take naps, eat nourishing food at regular intervals, go to bed earlier than 11pm, and get up as soon as it is light. Trying to train a human is a difficult challenge, especially herding her into the shower before 7:30am. But Smudgelette persists, meowing from the bathmat to encourage her person to stay on schedule. Thanks to Smudgelette’s AMC veterinarians, cardiologist Dr. Betsy Bond, and her “regular” vet, Dr. Heather Brausa, she and her person have enjoyed several more years together than anyone imagined possible.
