1. Lots of little paw prints everywhere in the garden.

2. A rather smaller number of deep holes in the snow with a track
between them where a fluffy tummy has swum through the drifts.

3. No pawprints at all.

We've just skipped stage 2 to get to stage 3. Every available
perch in the house has a cat sleeping on it.

Miranda wants out all the time, but when I open the door for her, she
fliches back at the cold and goes and lies on the warm modem instead.
Caliban lies beside her under the desk lamp. He doesn't even ask to go
out. It's -14C here. It was much colder last winter, but I seem to
remember Mir spending lots of time outside then. Maybe now, that she
will be 6 tomorrow, she has decided she is old and frail and can't take
the cold.




Here in SLC, UT it is currently 27deg and 13 deg last night. We had a
major snow storm. The snow in my front yard is about 14 inches on the
level and where they have plowed, the piles are about 2 feet or more
deep. This was a steady all=day storm yesterday. I haven't heard what
the ski resorts got but avalanche danger is high. TuTu is sleeping
(again) by the heat register.
