Default Snow and Cold Paws

Smudgie was hesitant to go into the garden this morning. It was the blanket
of snow covering the lawn that she pondered. A tentative paw helped her
decide it was cold and icky and best avoided. She did her usual prowl
around the garden on the path instead. It even dissuaded her from leaping
onto the shed roof (and saved me having to brave the cold, waving ham around
to tempt her back down again). Not content with being on the ground Smudgie
decided my 5 ft plastic greenhouse looked like it had a good vantage point
to survey the snow more thoroughly. The noise of ripping plastic was
quickly followed by pained meiows which seemed to translate as "oh my
goodness, my paws are cold, I can't jump on the lawn - it's covered in white
stuff, my paws are colder, quick get me down, my paws are freezing!"

She shot into the house when I lifted her down and curled up in her bed next
to the radiator, I don't think she likes snow very much!

Sonny too is not amused. Overnight we had about 6 inches of heavy wet
snow. Snow even blew into his little outdoor house filling it. Sonny
jumped out after DH shovelled a path to the bird feeders, got to the
bottom of the deck, looked around, shook his head because of the strong
winds, looked at me waiting at the door and decided he'd better get back
in while he had the chance.

Then he decided to try the front door, things might be better there.
Nope, he ran back in 2 seconds later. So I set up his chair at the
patio door for some serious bird watching, and he's given up on today.
It should melt in the next couple of days and he'll be happy again once
his world is green again and not white, until winter really sets in.

My Ishmael loved it. He was fluffy enough that the cold didn't penetrate,
and after a fresh fall of snow he'd run around in it kicking up flurries
into the air and watching it fall.

What really confused him was when Marion had a bubblebath at around the
same time. Stands on the edge of the bath, extends a paw... what the?
Warm snow that doesn't bear your weight?


My Mandy, RB, had no objection to snow at all. I let her out by the back
door once while I was clearing it, and she eyed the white mounds and
leapt on top of them - only to sink right down to her belly fur! That
didn't stop or deter her, though; she set out 'swimming' through the
snow across the yard!

Rusty had a worried look when he looked outside while the wind was
rattling the windows. He is glad that he is an indoor only cat.
That is quite a storm we have.

Did you ever read Robert Heinlein's _Door_ _into_ _Summer_? The only
difference between your Sonny and Pete in the book is that Pete held his
two-legs personally responsible for the weather....

Blessed be,

Really? I'll see if the library has it. I think I'd enjoy it, thanks.
