Snowmonsters!
I live in an area noted for high winds, lots of precipitation and
temperatures that often hover around 0C. The builders of my house (and the city planners, if they *had* city planners back then!) didn't take prevailing winds into consideration and therefore I'm quite regularly out on the doorstep thanking God that at least the builders didn't set the place back much from the street and trying to clear the snow before the prevailing winds either pile it so high I'm sealed in the house for the rest of the winter or the temperature rises again to or a bit above 0, just before plunging back below 0, leaving ice so solid a blowtorch would hardly touch it. And there's probably a city bylaw against using a blowtorch big enough to melt ice in a built-up area. There are days - not many, but today's one of them - during which I envy people who live in areas that may be much colder, but have less snow and less vicious winds. Sam does not agree. Sam likes snow. Sam likes sneaking out when I'm struggling with the door and shovels, and sometimes it hardly seems worth trying to stop him because traffic is nil during these snow clearing periods and anyway it's not as though a cat's going anywhere very fast in snow that's over his head. Not that that stops Sam; he actually seems to rather like swimming through the snow. For a while, mind you. Usually a shorter period of time than it takes for me to do my rather minimalist job of ensuring I've moved enough snow so that I can get out of the house. Then he yowls like a pitiful lost soul to get back in. And you all know where this is going. IN is boring. And there's still snow out there waiting for paw prints....Cats!!!

But the cats love the snow, only they have to come inside and warm their toes every couple of minutes. Then it's back out into the lovely snow. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

I don't know if we'll get any more snow this year, it was fun watching Baggy doing the snow zoomies. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |
