I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots. Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots. All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat. She sits and sits and sits and sits – and that’s what makes a gumbie cat! But the old gumbie cat gets busy at the end of the day, teaching and cooking, and getting the mice, cockroaches and beetles organised!
