5. It won't be fun until there's at least 3 inches on the ground

and you toss them into it. Cats are hilarious in their first snowfall, it was one of the best things about New England.

..when there's a snowfall with big white flakes swirling around.

Like "I could catch some of those. Maybe a lot of them!"

Once in a while I put his harness on and open the sliding doors like, "Go ahead, give it a try." He usually trots out confidently about three strides, then stands there looking around like "WHOA, it's COLD out here, dayum!" and gives me a dirty look like "You ruined it again, didn't you, human," and stalks back in.

Some things seen on kitty teevee are best enjoyed on kitty teevee.

appreciatively,
Bright

11. Sweet! I had a cat long ago that loved snow. He tunneled thru it, hopped on

imaginary prey, and (best of all) dug a hole and peed wherever he wanted. He thought it was magical.

I can tell he's still smaller than Madoc, but he looks so mature, like a small adult cat rather than a kitten. *blows kisses to both boys*

14. I tried commanding him to stay kitcat size, but he's a defiant young king

But he still loves to nap on my lap and gives great snuggles so I guess all I can do is watch and see how big he gets.

long deceased cats' first glimpses of snow.

Your cats are gorgeous, too.
