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
and
that's cute to catch the cat there. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the stance my cats take when they're approaching snow...like they're not too sure what it is...
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it snows in Jerusalem!!!
Thanks for visiting MammothLakesDP!!!
cool
ReplyDeleteButterfly
TexWisGirl shalom. It was luck, all right.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
I like snow, I really enjoy pictures of it, but I do not want it here again...
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful, I wish you a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteCool picture to send to him. And he has not seen snow? Unreal to me.
ReplyDeleteCats 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:-)
I imagine that was the cat's first glimpse of snow. :)
ReplyDeleteKitties commune with mystery.
ReplyDeleteNice capture for the boy.
Happy Aloha to YOU

... or send him here. Another 5 inches on Wednesday. Alright, already! Sheeeeeeeeeesh!
ReplyDeleteHe sees a lizard sunbathing on the wall. BTW: I saw snow two weeks ago in Los Angeles....had to go up the mountain though
ReplyDeletelove that inquisitive kitty
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for the cat. Years since last I saw snow as well. A great gift you made. Please have a good Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI saw where they reported snow in Los Angeles too and was shocked! It had to be in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteLOL 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!
What a nice idea to send this to your grandson! The cat wants to have a look too..
ReplyDeleteDina your grandson will love this shot you did for him. What a grat idea!
ReplyDeleteI think the cat is nosy reading what you wrote in the snow......
Liebe Grüße,
Pia
I'm sure your grandson will be happy to see this photo!
ReplyDeleteCat is very apprehensive about snow, and rightly!
ReplyDeleteA nice photo with a very nice story to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's scared of the snow.
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the snow over there. Actually there's a snow storm on the highlands of northern Portugal now and even schools are closed.
