Humphrey and the black and white cats

We’ve had a fun week… with black and white cats.

Although I usually talk about Humphrey, we do have two cats, the other being a black she by the name of Portia. (named by my lawyer niece)

Portia is beautiful but temperaments.  Now 15 we discovered recently that she’s almost completely deaf.  Which accounts for the fact that her miaow has become very loud and rather harsh.  It’s like have the volume up high on the television!

I told you before about Humphrey fighting and over the last couple of months we’ve seen new cats around the garden.  All black and white.  We finally worked out there were 3 separate cats, all with collars who seem to belong to families down the other end of our street.

Well these 3 cats have been haunting us for the last week.  We finally decided that it was because of Portia.  Which is spectacularly stupid of them because she’s an OAP, skin and bone, deaf and she was neutered at 6 months.

At times we been chasing all 3 cats at the same time out of the garden so she can have a bit of peace under her favourite bush.  Humphrey meantime has taken to skulking in the middle of the thickest shrubs he can find.  No dashing out to save her!

Roll on the day when she supposedly no longer on heat!
