Title: Carrie - what on earth's the matter!
Post by: Bren22 on April 25, 2011, 11:44:22 AM
There we were, me and the 3 downstairs cats, quietly watching the Telly last night when suddenly Carrie (the gentle, nervous one) started howling, it was the most awful noise.  I thought she was ill - fitting - dying at the very least.  She was sitting in the window behind the curtains, her favourite spot, and I was dreading what I'd find when I got to her.  She was absolutely fine, but furiously raging at a beautiful black cat outside in the front garden.  I've seen him around, he seems to be quite friendly with Jess (the upstairs cat, who only goes out in the front garden).  Anyhow, the noise went on and on til I eventually went out to shoo him away.  I don't know Carrie's history before she came to Covcats, but she's a bag of nerves who won't be handled.  I felt a bit proud of her as I think she was defending 'her' territory, and very honoured that she feel my house is hers. :evillaugh:

 :rofl: bless her, she's beautiful!! Sounds like she didnt like the thought of that black cat near her house... maybe she was feeling that he'd be more beautiful than her?? ;)

He is gorgeous.  Huge golden eyes and glossy coat.  I don't know who he owns, he's only been around a little while but he's very well turned out - no wonder little Jess fancies him!

My two do exactly the same thing when a local tom cat (a gorgeous, sleek black and white creature!) comes into the garden.

To be fair, last summer before we got the girls we did encourage him and he got the idea that the garden was his.  :-[ If he sees one of the girls in the garden he goes for her (never given him the chance to actually attack so it could all be bluff but I'm not taking any chances!).

Anyway, both the girls - but especially Drum - will howl if they see him through the window. The first time I heard it I thought one of them was being tortured!
