Humphrey update

What is it about wind and cats?

I mentioned last week about how jumpy Humphrey can be but that’s nothing to how he is when it’s windy!

This morning he’s racing round the garden like the demon cat is after him and jumping up in the air as leaves swirl about.  What a mad puss!  I don’t know if he can be regarded as a reliable weather forecaster but he does fidget ahead of windy weather.

Well if I’m honest he fidgets a lot of the time so I guess that’s giving his fidgeting an importance it doesn’t have.  But if he fidgets with the weather why doesn’t he fidget when other cats are in the garden.  Or attempting to come into the kitchen,  which one did several times last week in the evenings.

We like to sit with the back door open in the evening if it’s warm.  Lately it’s become hazardous because the open door is a magnet (food not babe I think) to any passing cat.  Which means that if it’s going dark in the kitchen and we see a shadowy, cat shaped shadow, we’re never convinced if it’s one of ours or not.

Gives us good exercise, getting up to check I suppose.  The nearest Humphrey comes to helping us out is sitting on the doormat and going to sleep there.  They say that snoring can break up a marriage because of the noise and irritation.  Humphrey can snore with his eyes open.  Honestly he can.  I’ve seen him sit there looking at me and then comes the snore.

If owners get to look like their dogs, do cat owners suffer the same fate?  Or is it more a case of cats being drawn to owners because of… Honestly I don’t snore with my eyes open.
