Snow Day

So the snow finally reached Hull and settled saturday morning. I headed out to the local park to get some snow shots on the way back I kept my eye out for our feline friends.

Most of our feline friends had the right idea and was tucked up inside nice and warm however I did manage to meet two cats.

This one below was being very vocal I think he/she was asking to be let back at the front door, probably did not want to walk around to the back way

 

The black cat below is another new resident he/she has been around for a few months, very sleek and fast - I have to be fast and not delay when taking shots hence the last picture being slightly out of focus however I think it works and gives you insight to the cats personality. I love the shot of him/her crossing the pavement he is like a panther!

Cyril my best friend

I was surprised that a year had passed yesterday since my Cyril had passed on.
I started the blog in memory of Cyril and the shock it has been a year has kick started me to get back to it.
The picture below is one of my favourite pictures of Cyril.

I miss him everyday xxxxxxxx

Meet Asbo Cat

So a new cat arrived on the street last year. He is black and white, half of his face is mostly black. He is also the same size as Rambo if not a little bigger!

When I first saw Asbo Cat it was in the garden he just looked at me like I interrupted him! He seems to have quite a attitude! I have noticed him throwing his weight around with the other cats maybe he is just going the wrong way making friends :)

Rambo had kept an eye on Asbo from the safety of his lookout, he only goes out after them when he sees the cats leaving and he can sneak up on them!

Asbo had been visiting the garden alot much to the dislike of Rambo and Gypsy but I had not witnessed any confrontation however Asbo was about to cross the line.

One night in the early hours I was woken up by that horrible howling cat sound it took me a few seconds to realise it was downstairs. I got up and ventured downstairs to find little Gypsy and a massive Asbo in the front room!! He made a swift exit and Gypsy was spooked for awhile.

Since then we have had many little late night visits from Asbo! I could shut the cat flap at night but I like to give Rambo and Gypsy the freedom to go out if they wish. The visits are less frequent now.

Asbo is not bothered what mayhem he causes I think it's a great game he is playing! Once I opened the front door and he was just sat there looking at me - it was if he was warning me he knows the house front and back haha.

Once Rambo came flying through the cat flap at full speed ran through the dining room and upstairs - there was a flash of white following Rambo. I went upstairs to find Rambo and Asbo in my room! I think Asbo was so focused on chasing Rambo he did not realise where he was! Rambo also looked confused as chases normally end at the cat flap and he is safe once he gets through!

So photos are below are when Asbo came to see Rambo from his lookout point, Rambo was not pleased that Asbo seemed to be mocking him! These photos are a little similar when Gypsy first made her appearance :)
Asbo recognises me now and does have a little miaow at me so I think overall he is very keen on making friends!!
