Previously, I wrote about
how my 40 pounds of housecat (2 cats x 20 pounds ea. = 40 pounds) have been distressed
because cold weather kept them indoors for the last two months. The cold snap finally broke two days
ago. Warmer temperatures and rain began
to carve away at the snow around my house.
The snow at my back deck
averaged two feet in depth before the warming spell. By midmorning yesterday, several tufts of
grass appeared a few feet off the edge of my deck—looking like fuzzy islands in
a sea of white.
Splash, the crankiest of
my cats, finally stepped outside early yesterday afternoon. After sniffing at the deck here and there, he
noticed an island of grass out in the snow.
He stepped down onto the snow, gingerly walked across the melting
surface, and then sat there on the island of grass looking around. He remained there for quite some time.
He’ll take spring...no
matter what size it is.
