Honestly, I should know better by now.

Smudge has a thing for paper — sitting on it, tearing it, gleefully shredding it like she’s on a mission. I was halfway through making a fresh batch of greetings cards… but clearly, she had other plans. Quality control? Or maybe she’s just claiming the stock for herself.

Every sheet of card is, in her mind, a new throne. And once she’s parked herself, that’s it — you’ll need a royal decree (and some dreamies) to move her. So for now, card-making is on hold. I’ll resume once she’s wandered off to her other favourite spot… curled up in the bath.
Yep. The bath. Don’t ask — she’s got very specific tastes.

Life with cats: equal parts chaos, comedy, and cuddles. ?

As soon as Smudge relinquishes the workspace, I’ll get back to card production — they’ll be in the shop soon. In the meantime, feel free to take a peek at what’s already made it onto the shelves!
