 |  |  |  | First of all, I want to thank you for inviting me and my meowmy to your wonderful group. Smokey had so many interesting quirks that made him special to me and my family but I think if I had to pick one word to describe him it would be "regal". He was a handsome boy and he knew it his entire life. He ruled over the other animals (sometimes with an iron paw) and had everyone waiting on him hand and foot right up until his last day. He was loving only to my mom and I and it took him several years to warm up to my best friend. In the last year, he took a liking to my boyfriend but that was it, he was very selective about who's lap he sat on In his younger years he was actually quite the terror, constantly getting into things and sulking if he got into trouble. He was always very playful and affectionate with me though and we were playmates and best friends throughout my childhood. Even when I was a teenager and he was entering his senior years he would "box" with me or my mom, always giving up with an insulted meow if he couldn't win The last 2 years of his life, he became very laid back around others (although he still had little patience for the other cat or the dog) and I was both surprised and very touched by how many of my friends came by to wish him a final goodbye. |  |  |  |  |
