Snow Cats

First there's these "snow cats" I made after one of our snow falls...


One each for Simon, Tucker and Moxie. Looks like they want to sing Christmas carols.



Creative use of holly leaves and holly berries, eh? ;-)


And then there's these snow cats, with pictures taken from several different occasions over the last couple weeks.


"It's cold if I walk on the snow, and yet there's no snow here under the table..."


"I think I'll just stay under the table..."


I took Simon on the backyard patrol, just to see how things were looking from the backyard.


We've pretty much given up on any fall/winter crops still being pickable, altho the spinach DOES look like it'll perk back up once we have enough sunny weather.



He decided it was too cold and made a bee-line back to the safety of the house.


And on another day, after more snow...time to adventure outside again since they were getting cabin fever.



Who doesn't love leaving the first foot (paw) prints in freshly fallen snow!?




I wish I would've gotten some pics of Simon's snow-doughnuts. It's like a cross between making snow angels, and making doughnuts with your car. You take your cat out in the fresh snow, lie him down on his side (Simon's VERY cooperative if you're giving him even the least bit of attention), and spin him in circles. I couldn't get him to lie there long enough to try and make an actual snow-kitty-angel, but he's fine with being spun in circles for a few rounds. ;-)
