Thread: Snow happy babes....

How cool! This is the first year I've been excited at the prospect of snow... I can't wait to see how the cats get on with it! Do all your furries like it or just the bruvs?

Merlyn is pretty brave & will go out but he can't cope until babes quiten down a bit,Bruce pretends,one paw in & he runs like h*** & sits on the summerhouse veranda,the two girls go down the bedroom & watch from the windowsill,now who are the sensible ones...?

What lovely pictures Jackie, it looks like they are enjoying the cold snap!
Ours have never seen snow before so there was much paw-shaking yesterday when they ventured out. I thought they would like it as it's part of their heritage to be out in the snow, and they're physically equipped for it, to the hilt. But it wasn't long before they were calling to be let back in -'Mum, it's freezing out here!' LOL!

The 2 kittens love the snow and spent hours out in it Sunday morning. Tilly had great fun digging and staring skywards to see where it was coming from. Pomeroy the older cat is much more laid back about it all. Raggle went "snow mad" and spent an hour running out into the snow, having a dig, running into the house then up the stairs then straight back out to do it all over again!

I'm still waiting for more than a skittering but Hector went out in it at the weekend, cue lots of confused looking at his paw as if to say what is this stuff it looks like Mums bubbles but it's not! Roxy was nowhere to be seen but she is a lot more timid when it comes to the great outdoors she likes to take her time in going outside and did not go out at the weekend.

As soon as we get a decent fall (we have been promised a little tonight!) I will try to get some photos.

Your pics are fab Jackie as your boys really stand out against the snow with their colouring.

We have over a foot of snow in the garden now- Dudley would completely disappear if we took him out! Might be able to see Sylvie's tail sticking out.

Don't they look fab in the snow!
There's only the thinnest layer of snow over here, and quite a freezing wind to boot. So we'll wait until there's more snow and less wind before we'll let them have their first outside snow-experience. They were looking out of the window really curiously when the snow started falling... never seen anything like it before.

@Steve Morgan - I'd love to see pics of Raggles going snow-mad... he looks a lot like El Monto.

Antonia, we are due more snow, so I will try to get a picture of Raggles performing for you.

We've got narrow window ledges in the bedrooms - too narrow for MC's to squeeze their buts on, so put a shelf up a few months ago so they could watch the birds in the trees and the cars go by. Both girls were staring out the window this morning watching big fat snowdrops blow against the glass and had me in hysterics whilst they tried to catch them! Didn't have the camera handy, sadly.
Took them both outside an hour or so ago - Wicca was mildly curious, but was more amused by the novelty of running headlong from the dining room at the front of the house, through the kitchen at the back of the house and straight out onto the patio, where she ground to a halt before sailing straight off the covered patio and into the snow. There she sat, watching the snow fall but not quite being brave enough to get wet paws.
Freyja, on the other hand, was a complete wuss. Had to carry her outside, where she wriggled to get down, and when I stood in the middle of the snow she suddenly became a limpet and refused to let go of me. When I finally got her to extract her claws from my coat and gently put her down on the lawn, she shot off like her bum was on fire, straight indoors. She was gone so fast we didn't even get chance to pick the camera up, let alone turn it on! And all the ones of Wicca had me standing in them, so they will NOT be posted until I've dug out photoshop!
