Cats in snow

.
If you have looked at my blog for the past two days you  know that the Jerusalem region was treated to a rare snowfall on Thursday.
Ten inches!


It was only the second time in her life for 6-year-old Shachar to feel snow underfoot.
She walked through it as gingerly as possible. 
Two legs down, two legs up, way up.


Lara, Shachar's mother, wanted nothing of it.
She tried to stay high and dry.


The little cat paw prints looked delicate,


compared to the much bigger canine prints.
Or--maybe this was the jackal I saw in the snow of 2008!

(All photos can be much enlarged.)

  1. Yes, cats and snow don't often mix. Our 5 stay close to the wood-stove in the winter. Lovely photos. Deb

  3. Never dull watching our animal companions, Dina.
    I'll dream of the jackal...do they sing like coyotes?

  4. My cats get mad just when it gets cold. They won't get off the porch if it snows.

    Happy weekend!:-)

  6. These are darling photos. I feel for these critters, but Shachar, at least, seems to be having an adventure.

  8. Cloudia, the jackals sing in a funny chorus. Follow the link in this post to hear a short audio clip I made.

  12. 10 inches?!?! That would be a lot for Chicago also. That is just so amazing. The kitties must have been so puzzled.
