HERE COMES HARRY

Our neighbour recently acquired a rather dashing ginger Tom cat called Harry, like our little cat Moth he was found straying and hungry. For some months he was kept indoors,then a few weeks ago Harry was released upon the world,and upon our little ladies.

Harry is beautiful,brash, thick skinned, playful and adorable and out cats hated him on sight! It pained us all to be obliged to chase him away or refuse him entry into the house in wet weather,the problem is that he seems to dislike his own home and has as good as move out.

This is not the fault of his owners,they love all animals,I think that it has much more to do

with the fact that they have two enormous dogs and we have two very delectable female cats.

He eats most of his meals here and refuses to return home in spite of the fact that his owners are

calling him day and night, now I am concerned that they will think that we are attempting to cat nap Harry.

Over the last two days out cats have become noticeably less aggressive towards the young Prince and there is now little or no hissing when he appears. |He even eats out of their respective food bowls without occasioning an almighty bust up as was formerly the case.

Today, Harry sat on the sofa with Twiggy and she merely grumbled a little......who would have believed it. Later he spent half an hour upstairs with both of our cats without any fighting what-so-ever,a thing impossible only two short days ago.

Harry is very partial to cat nip and roles in ecstasy on the rug when ever he finds some,he loves to be cuddled and he loves to play,

I have no idea what we are to do but I feel that I shall have to speak to his owners, if only to let them know where he is spending his time. With luck all will be well and Harry will be allowed to visit,I do hope so ,we are all becoming rather fond of him.
