Humphrey update

Seems like no time at all since i wrote last week’s update.

The only real thing that’s bugged me this week with cats is nothing to do with their behaviour but that of us humans.

Bonfire night. Now I’m not one to stop people enjoying themselves but where fireworks are concerned, I am concerned. Because if it was limited to one evening in the year when everyone went out and enjoyed fireworks either at home or at organised events, I’d be happy for them.

However depending where the 5th falls in the week, in our area that can mean five or six nights of continual firework use. Plus we have a firework shop only two streets away from where we live which means easy access for people.

Having to keep in one unhelpful cat who doesn’t understand why we won’t let him out and doesn’t connect it with the fact that he shoots back in the house if he hears any loud noise like the rubbish lorry, leads to a fun week.

So I pray for wet weather. Not so much to stop the firework displays, but more that I know Humphrey will come in when it’s wet without too much coaxing.

And don’t get me started on intermittent firework use for other celebrations.

Better sign myself off this week as grumpy cat owner I think.
