Or, as it is to become known in legend and myth: The Great Nope-ening of 2021. Or perhaps, The Cat Who Went All the Way to the Edge of the Porch and Lived to Tell the Tale. Only time will tell.

Smudge?
Our cat El Gato grew up near South Padre Island Texas and spent most days outside. Live in Central Texas now and she saw her first snow yesterday. Only took a few steps in snow before turning around. Very unhappy cat because no backyard territory patrols for several days.
Enquiring minds want to know…..
Which Cat?
The Cat Who Didn’t Walk Through Walls (of Snow)
Peerless tracking, sir!
Oh, the poor chilly toe-beans that made those prints! Give him or her a cuddle for me, and maybe turn on the fireplace and set out a soft cozy throw to snuggle into.
“That’s a few small steps for a cat, one giant leap for catkind.”
Every year when the first snow falls, our schnauzers just look at us in disgust – “Now what have you done to the outside!?!”
My cats can’t find the door into summer, either. They are deeply disappointed with us!
Understandably; it’s been so cold I can see the heat shimmer coming off them as they stand outside (briefly) to contemplate their inevitable decision to go back inside into summer.
LOL! Saw a set of pawprints in our snowy backyard! Local kitty who makes the backyard his/her domain! Probably went home!
Paw prints in my snow from cats, wabbits, and who knows what else? And I mean, like, everyday. I need to hire Elmer Fudd, P.I.
