Alfie takes on the new interloper

Alfie is growing fast and is starting to stake his territory already - I wondered what was going on when he started arching his back (he gets this funny Mohican hair thing along his spine!) and his tail puffed up til I realised that there was a strange and rather menacing looking grey tom cat sitting right outside the back door.

Off he shot, chasing away this cat which was easily three times the size of him. He's gonna be a great guard cat once he is fully grown!!!!
