nicknaming my cat and other lessons on evolution

happy new year too :)

I’ve been calling my cat Smooch. Her name is Tofu (technically it’s Professor Tofu according to her medical records) but I find myself calling her by an affectionate nickname more often than her real name. 

She’ll be four years old soon, and at some point within the last two I started calling her Smushy. It was an easy fit because, well, she looks smushy…
