Subject: Their first snow . .
In October, I adopted four cats. I already had two- Danny 14 and Max 11. Two of the new ones were only three months old when I got them. Devon, a small size black Persian and Rajah, a lanky bold striped Siamese mix. The other two are Dexter, one year and Princess- eight years old. To say they have changed my life is an understatement. Watching the two younger ones develop has been amazing. Rajah has grown so tall and fleshed out, I sometimes don’t recognize him when he is outside.
I realized yesterday, that the two young ones had not ever seen snow- I thought it would be interesting to see the reaction. I let them out and they were only puzzled for six seconds or so and then went for it. Running, jumping at the falling flakes and wondering about those tracks following them. It was sunny today and the three youngest of the new cats wanted to be outside most of the day. The older ones weren’t too happy when I insisted on taking a walk in the snowy woods.
Such small pleasures make my day.
