Humphrey

The saga of the other black and white cat has continued all week.

Humphrey’s torn between defending territory and keeping warm.  I don’t think he cares much about protecting Portia to be honest.

It just amazes me that cats don’t get the message about her.  Poor old thing.  She sits under a planter and glares at the intruder but being deaf she has to read the body language, not hear what he’s saying.

It was so cold last week that Humphrey spent a lot of time in the house.  One of his favourite places is by the radiator near the door to the hall.  But he lies with his bottom stuck out into the room and it’s a great place to trip people up as they try to open the door.

Then we’re glared at as we nudge him with our feet when we’re stepping over him.

He’d be warmer on the chair especially during the day when the heating is off.

I think he caught a bit of cold because he would be out on the wettest night this last weekand then came in and slept all day.  It’s difficult when he does that because then he wants to be out later in the evening.  I know he has places in the garden to shelter but still I don’t like him out when it’s below zero.

Hope the weather will improve this week – at least the days are lengthening now – and he’ll go back to his normal routine.
