Whoops - we let Dougie Meowser out for the first time this weekend, have been escorting him around the garden and bringing him back in when he's tried to go too far afield. He saw our neighbour's cat and chased him off, but was about to follow him through the hedge so OH grabbed him and brought him inside.
Cue much yowling (Dougie, not OH
), bristling and wagging of tail. He went to sit on the stairs and my OH tried to fuss him - returning shortly afterwards with a bitten hand
Even though he's usually such a gentle chap there's no way I'd have tried to fuss him when he was so cross, but poor OH isn't quite so familiar with the "I am going to kill you" warning signs. He's cleaned his hand up with antiseptic hand wash, hopefully it won't become infected. They are both in the front room sulking now...Dougie is really in the doghouse!
