KAI in snow, with curious cat

.

In last week's rare and not-long-lasting snow I wrote my grandson's name, planning to e-mail the picture to him in Los Angeles.
Kai has not yet seen snow, Californian that he is.  

Meanwhile a stray cat walked into my photo. 
Now, looking at the enlarged version on screen, I try to figure out the tomcat's strange stance:
alert?  afraid?
assuming attack mode? 
being careful to avoid snow? 
about to jump up to the shed roof?
studying the grapevine's shadow? 
listening for a bird? 
catching scent of a she-cat? 
.
Maybe the animal observers at Camera-Critters know?
.
(P.S.  There is another animal, a HUGE rubber duck, in the previous post!)
.
And if you missed the snow pictures last week, look at

  2. That's the stance my cats take when they're approaching snow...like they're not too sure what it is...
    I didn't know it snows in Jerusalem!!!

    Thanks for visiting MammothLakesDP!!!

  3. TexWisGirl shalom. It was luck, all right.

    The Chieftess, thanks. I didn't have enough cat vs. snow experience to know. It snowed here last time five years ago.
    I added links in the post for folks who missed the snow pictures last week.

  6. Cool picture to send to him. And he has not seen snow? Unreal to me.
    Cats get used to all circumstances, I think, but it's interesting what's going on in their head.
    "Our" cat tolerate blizzards and -20 degrees without blinking.

    Ps: To day we have half a meter of snow:-)

  12. I saw where they reported snow in Los Angeles too and was shocked! It had to be in the mountains.

    LOL with your cat. My cats don't like it when we get snow either. They stay up on the porch.

    Luckily for me and them it usually melts right away when we do get it.

    Cute picture..I love cats!

  18. I think it's scared of the snow.

  19. That's so amazing, Dina. I'm sure Kai loved it. Having just returned from California, I can tell you it was plenty cold over there. I almost expected it to snow the first day we were there.

  20. I heard about the snow over there. Actually there's a snow storm on the highlands of northern Portugal now and even schools are closed.
