But it’s not like it’s taking a toll on my girlish figure. I’m always stealing it when my Humans aren’t looking. KATNISS: What do you do on your down time – if you have any down time? SMUSH: It looks like I will be putting together a children’s book with the artist who designed my pin, Natelle from Natelle Draws Stuff, doing the illustrations. KATNISS: Pawsome! Any other upcoming purrojects I should know about? SMUSH: They designed a t-shirt that says “Neuter is Cuter” and are donating a purrtion of the sales to Operation Catnip in my name. KATNISS: Tell me how you’re connected to the monthly subscription goodie box, CatLadyBox. SMUSH: Well, I was once a street cat myself, so this is impurrtant to me. KATNISS: I heard your fans contributed nearly $1,200 to Operation Catnip, which helps feral cats. We do what we can to help, especially when it comes to TNR (trap-neuter-release). SMUSH: My meowmies are the driving furce behind my felinethropy. KATNISS: I love when cats use their fame fur good. We want to build a foundation that will help an animal welfare organization once a year. A portion of the purroceeds will go to help animals in need. Right meow we have enamal pins and stickers for sale. Speaking of work, it seems like you’re always raising funds for something. KATNISS: Oh, yes, they do very good work. SMUSH: Actually, it’s made of felt! I love it so much that we teamed with her to do a raffle where the winner gets a miniature felt version of their cat, with purroceeds going to The Odd Cat Sanctuary. KATNISS: And that little mini-version of you done by Nodsu. SMUSH: Oh, I love the painting she did of me(ow)! It really captures my spirit. KATNISS: You’ve been an inspurration for so many artists, like Inga Rausch. SMUSH: I guess you could say we’re the Cat Pack. KATNISS: Wow, that’s like a Who’s Who of famous cats! I’m also buds withe Venus the Two-Faced Cat whose Humom is also into rescue.


There is a whole ‘special’ cat squad with similar features including Monty, Maya, Penny the Cat, William the Cat and Panchi.cat. SMUSH: Yes, Monty and I became furiends immediately. KATNISS: You’ve struck up a furiendship with another famous Internet cat, Monty, who is also known for being unique. SMUSH: You know, I’m really just a cat living my cat life with my family, so that’s what matters to me. KATNISS: You’ve gone from living on the streets to being Insta-Famous – was that a tough adjustment?
