Humo The Cat ~ 40 of 365

This is our cat, Humo (pronounced Umo), which is Spanish for smoke. He spends a lot of his time outside and is a very fiesty guy. He is very sweet with us though - he purrs so much when you hold him that he drools all over you. He is also a good mouser which is a good thing where we live as there are a lot of outdoor field mice - many of which carry hanta virus.

 

Just two weeks ago, a person in a nearby town (14 miles away) died of hanta virus. It is scary.

 

I really like this picture of Humo, he is sitting on the brick ledge by the front door and it looks like he is guarding our house from any nasty mice that might want to run inside.
