A spokesperson for the nearby Mannin Hotel, a frequent host of Smudge, says she became a “familiar face’” to guests and its staff.
They added she was one of the hotel’s “most famous” and much-loved guests, with her own dedicated bed.
A number of tribute posts shared on social media show Smudge helping out at various events including Ballakermeen High School’s Year 11 Prom and guarding School of Rock Costumes at the Gaiety Theatre.
