Cats in Winter

What's a cat to do in winter, when it's cold and snowy outside?   There are so many choices.
There's:
bathing...


snacking ...


hide and seek ...


seed ordering ...


ski bag time ...



shoulder time ...


looking handsome ...



looking innocent ....


keeping an eye on the 'hood ....


and of course, sleeping...
At Christmas time, there is a brief interlude of excitement, for aficionados of ...
boxes ...
bags ...

gifts ...

and a certain amount of confusion about wrapping paper in one's basket.


After all that is cleared away, there is a return to
sleeping...

and that perennial favorite....
Kitty Television!
Of course they only watch one station, namely the Bird Channel.


It's on every day from dawn to dusk, and features a wide cast of characters.   One sunny day last week, I took pity on the chickens and let them out to roam the dormant garden, where deep snow hid and protected my perennials from their destructive pecking and scratching.   They found their way over to the back deck, where I had set out a tray of tasty grass for a winter greens feast.
Meanwhile, inside, sleeping cats awoke.
Hey, what's this? Kitty Television got a new channel.  The birds are so much bigger and more real -- it must be IMAX 3-D!!!!
Question is, who's watching whom?
Meanwhile, the chickens, watching the Cat Channel, are asking themselves, "Who's that?!"

Baaaawwwwwwwkkkkkkkkk!

  3. Jackie, if you look closely, you'll see there are actually three cats! Even better than two for entertainment value and lap-sitting. And if you were here in person, you could see that one grey cat is very laaaaaarge, while the other (with the white paws, shirt front and whiskers) is very small.
