Purrs 4 Peace Week 25:Thank You

Confucius Cat is filled with gratitude for all the friends who make the Purrs 4 Peace project successful week after week. This week particular gratitude goes to a very cute tabby and white cat named Smudge and his human Joanna Vroom who live in London, U.K.


Smudge was abandoned by some sorry examples of humanity and left to fend for himself in an area of South East London that is near the River Thames. He was cold and hungry until a very nice couple named Alex and Carole found him. Alex managed to trap Smudge inside a basket by luring him with food. Alex took the frightened cat to live with his Dad Sam and Wife Joanna. After a brief 2 days hiding under the cabinet Smudge emerged and it was love....even if not at first sight.

Now Smudge has his own twitter account: @Smudgebestcat


Joanna Vroom has been a friend to people all over the world from a young age. But where she used to keep in touch with pen pals by what we now call snail mail, she now communicates via twitter as @JoannaVroom. She has a particular affection for the people and culture of Pakistan.


Joanna and Smudge are regular supporters of this project. Not only are the purrs from their flat soothing, peaceful and full of love, but they regularly help with publicity for the event by retweeting my announcement tweets via twitter. Their thoughtfulness is touching. My profound gratitude to these two very sweet friends.


Thank you to every purrticipant. It has been impossible to keep track of everyone purrticipating from week to week. Therefore, I am including all those who have assisted with this project and will add newcomers from week to week. Thank you and BRAVO one and all!

That is very nice, Smudge and Joanna were just meant to be!!!

Ellen Whyte said...

Smudge is a lucky cat! But what is purring for peace? Target and Au purr while they're chewing on me. Not peaceful but sort of soothing.

Angel Gracie=^o.o^= said...

So many stories about the furries. Some sad and some happy. Smudge is so lucky and I like these kinds of stories.
I am glad that you have purring for peace. If now the humans would only figure it out!!

Joanna said...

Thank you sooo much Alley/ Confucius for your very nice write-up about us. Yes Smudge is my best friend and companion! He meows a lot and purrs a lot too. He is a very caring cat.
I would like to add 2 things. That day when Alex brought him to us I call Smudge's Adoption Day because we don't know when his birthday is. That was 21st November 1999 so he has been with us for 10 years!
Sadly Carole, Alex's wife, died in June this year but he is managing bravely. He lives in Peterborough now and has 2 German Shepherd dogs & a cat. But he loves all animals.
