Wet fluffies vs warm fluffies

Fri Jan 15 06:20:46 PST 2010

My cat thinks it can create its own reality, just by growling at it.

We've been house bound for 2 weeks now (lottsa snow). But Lucie (the cat) still wants to go outside for her ritual checking of the perimeter.

So we crack open the back door and flurries of snow blow in and land on her fur. There is nothing dry out there- no place to prowl.

She growls, and hisses, and waits. Nothing happens, except she gets more snow on her back. More growling, more hissing, more snow on her back.

Finally, she stalks off in a huff, back into the house. I'm sure she thinks the snow is worried that it has offended her.

As for me, I suspect the snow doesn't really care. But I won't tell Lucie.
