Humphrey update

We had another minor scare with Humphrey last week.  I’ve talked before about how much he likes his food and missing meals isn’t usually an option with him.  Well on Tuesday morning he didn’t appear having spent the night out on the tiles.

Still hadn’t appeared by lunchtime and you can’t help worrying… a little.

Then we were on the landing looking out over the grassy area that’s at the front of the sheltered housing next to us.  One guy there has his own garden with borders and trellis and pots.  It looks a picture and we get the benefit of it.  Since he arrived he’s put up two garden sheds and a greenhouse where he grows most of his plants from seed.

While we were watching, we caught sight of some danger signs.  White feathers.  Or we thought so.  To check it out properly I went down to the garden and peered over the fence.  Definitely white feathers.

Well it’s happened before that Humphrey sometimes sleeps for a long time after a kill.  Just like the big cats.  So we stopped worrying.

Then after I’d been out I was putting away my bag in the bedroom and looked out again to see the old gentleman walking back to his bungalow having been by one of his sheds, or the greenhouse I wasn’t sure.

Two minutes later, one black and white cat arrives, very warm, very dry and hungry.  But not bite your hand off hungry.

What a cat.
