8 Things About Humphrey
A lot of our regular readers know that our older fursib furry sadly departed fur the Rainbow Bridge in April 2017 along with our beautiful sisfur Snowie, but that doesn't mean that they still don't come visit us from time to time on the blog, and they'll both be here fur our 2018 Summer Blockbuster Adventure, so stay tuned as we'll be sharing that in August.
Anyhoo, let's get started and tell mew stuff about Humphrey that mew probably neffur knew...
1. Humphrey was rather an amewsing kitty, and would often do the funniest things. Years ago and I'm talking way, way back in 2006/7 he was being purrticularly boisterous one evening as the P.A. was unpacking the grocery shopping, and he was rolling on all the plastic shopping bags on the kitchen table. The next second something spooked him and he bolted, and he unwittingly had his head through one of the plastic bag handles.
The plastic bag opened up like a parachute behind him as he zoomed around the house wundering why a plastic bag was hot on his heels. The P.A. was also zooming around the house to try and catch him to remove the bag - from my vantage point it was hilarious! Though Humphrey and the P.A. funnily enough did quite see what was so hysterical - mew had to be an observer. But that brings me to one fact that mew won't know, that aftur that incident he was called Bagman fur rather a long time! MOL

2. In March 2106 Humphrey was the Garden Overlord, so he was the original Gardening with Cats Pin Up.
3. He was also furry sneaky and would often hang out and just spy on effuryone. A purrfect example is below!
4. Before we officially became the The B Team Humphrey had spent many years as an inventor and had a secret lab in the shed, which is now Amber's Library. In 2012 construction began on the secret bunker and he moved his lab into there, thus making Amber furry happy that the P.A. could now convert the shed fur her library. Though Humphrey was the furst B Team kitty effur to do a book review way back in May 2016 but Amber soon put paid to that and decided that the book review slot was hers and promptly told Humphrey that he'd been supurrceded! MOL
5. In August 2014 Humphrey was being all small, dark and mysterious on the cover of People Magazine, and he's lapping up that headline: 100 Most Beautiful People - Summers Hottest Bachelors!
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!" Humphrey agreed.
6. As part of The B Team Humphrey brings a lot of weight to the table, even in his now non-corporeal form [wait until mew see what he invented while at the Rainbow Bridge, it'll blow your fur off!] Anyhoo his code name was/is Purredator 1 [Parsley is Purredator 2] and the things he can do is truly staggering, fur instance on one of our missions [which has been declassified now, so I can tell mew] we were in the jungle hunting down a horde of rebel boars that were terrorising the locals, Humphrey being a bit of a lone-cat back in the day, headed off ahead as the solo scouting pawty and by the time the rest of us caught up he'd - all by himself - caught 5 of the boars and the other 3 had ran [ we did get them later] and he said in his drawl. "Dude, they didn't stand a chance and let me tell mew they are as boring as fluff!" MOL MOL
7. This is one of our fav pics of the big dude...
8. In June 2016 Humphrey insisted on wearing his tweed flat-cap and then turned into Mr Grumpy because he dropped his ice cream on his newspaper, he ended up sulking in the beach-hut all afternoon.
We still miss him terribly and Snowie and Posie too, and we really look forward to when they all visit from the Rainbow Realm.
And that sadly brings us to the end of 8 Things About Humphrey... we do hope mew enjoyed getting to learn more about our older brofur, he really was a character and a half!
There will be a new jigsaw on the puzzle page fur mew tomorrow just in case mew feel a need to while a few minutes away until our next post.
And if mew missed our previous 8 Things About posts, here's the links:
Oh, if mew're wundering why our scheduled Gardening with Cats isn't here today, we hit a bit of snag on Sunday when we were getting it ready, so we'll be posting that on Wednesday instead and all will be revealed including the snag! MOL
Thanks effur so much fur visiting today
