Humphrey
DMH • Male • 2
years old
Currently in foster care
From Humphrey's foster mum ...
Humphrey is a happy and confident young tabby
cat, much admired for his medium-long, silky fur, big paws with
tufts, and his appealing and intelligent expression. Humphrey’s
greatest quality as a companion is his attachment to his human,
following from room to room, indoors and outdoors. He loves attention
and being stroked, but failing that is happy simply to be near you,
whether sleeping under a bush in the garden or under the table indoors.
This also means he rarely wanders from home.
Humphrey quickly welcomes strangers, though he may initially be
a little wary of some men.
A fairly quiet cat, Humphrey generally becomes
vocal only when food is delayed. His preference is for non-fishy
cans, though he enjoys fresh cooked fish as well as raw chicken
necks for special meals, and he adores cheesy treats. He’s
not a big fan of being brushed - he wants to play-fight with the
brush - but with a firm hand holding him down, he’s quite
happy about it and will purr at the attention. He is thoroughly
house-trained.
Humphrey’s confidence lets him accept noisy
vacuum cleaners and washing machines without flinching. He is on
the alert for other cats passing through his garden - though so
far he has just kept a watching brief on the intruder and shown
no signs of aggression. He is not really into toys and games, but
as he loves humans and hands, and is very fast, he sometimes gets
carried away and wants to fight the hand behind the toy. However,
he is very remorseful if he thinks he has hurt you, and will happily
lick your hand or arm for minutes on end. He can get quite excited
in attacking rugs and towels on the floor, but is generally a sedentary
cat.
He would be an ideal companion for someone
who is at home on most days - while he doesn’t require constant
attention, he is quite needy for companionship. He purrs easily,
especially at bedtime, and gives back a lot of attention to his
owner. He’s not a lap-cat, and prefers to sit against you,
resting his head and sometimes his front paws on your leg or hand.
Being young, male and occasionally boisterous, he would probably
fit well into an adult home.
