Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Texas Snow!
We got a bunch (technical term, meaning more than an inch - grin) of snow last night. It looks like 4 to 5 inches on the ground, although the roads and parking lots seem to have melted away (I'm dreading the refreeze we'll likely get tonight). In true Texas fashion, I had to go out barefoot, in shorts and shirtsleeves, to have a look at it. Little Feet and Buster came out too. Buster put one paw in the snow, and went immediateley to the door and meowed that he wanted back inside Right Now! Little Feet walked out into the snow, which was as high as his tummy, and began to roll around in it. He looked like he had found a secret stash of catnip. Either that, or he was trying to make snow tigers (grin). Well, I started to get cold, and told little Feet to hurry up and let's go back in (for now). A few more rolls in the snow, and he followed me back to the door. He was quite a sight, with bits of snow clinging to him. I need to go buy new camera batteries TODAY!

I live in East Texas, and we got snow today -- our first in several years. It's a good thing I was looking out the window when it started because it only lasted for about 3 minutes, and it melted as soon as it touched the ground. Those just a little west of us got more (some with a little accumulation that stayed on the ground). MaryL >What part of Texas?

We got a lovely snow that lasted about 2 hours, but is melting fast. Mary, are you anywhere near Anderson County? Sherry > >What part of Texas?

I've never been there. I think it's about 6 or 7 hours from here. I'd sure like turn it into an excuse to go on to Galveston. I really like it there. Sherry Sherry > >> I spoke too soon earlier.

I always pictured a cat dipping its paw in the snow, shaking it off and going "hey, this stuff is not only *wet*, it's cold, too!" Send some our way (West TN), but wait until Monday night (supposed to go back to work Tuesday morning!) Jill >That's funny! I always pictured a cat dipping its paw in the snow, >shaking it off and going "hey, this stuff is not only *wet*, it's >cold, too!" This seems to vary from cat to cat. I have known some that liked snow, and some that didn't. I remember once watching my parents' cat, Tinkerbelle, walking through snow about three inches deep, and shaking each foot as she lifted it off the ground. I could almost hear her thinking, "Ick! Ick! Ick!". This is also the way she would react if she had to walk through a puddle to get somewhere.  SignatureJohn F.

She just ploughs right through it, even if it's up to her tummy.
