Smudge went to the vet for his first check-up this morning. Vet said he's healthy. No fleas, no ear mites. He only weighs 1 pound 12 ounces though. He really is skinny. The vet doesn't think that he's 12 weeks old (which is what the shelter says), which could be why he's so tiny. Hopefully the ScienceDiet Kitten Chow will start packing on the poundage for him.
Smudge insisted on sleeping on my pillow, right under my chin last night. He had a whole queen-sized bed to sleep on, and he just wanted to sleep right there. I kept pushing him away (his fur goes up my nose and makes me itch), but he just kept coming back. I can see where this might become an issue when he's full grown. But he's just so gosh darn cute. I couldn't deny him. Evolutionary advantage indeed.
