It was a day like this about a week ago during my last ski holiday:
A sunny skier like me doesn't go out skiing when it's too cloudy, the visibility is low and/or there is a chance of snowfall. So I stayed in to do some reading, rest and relax and then I went for a walk, only to find him/her in the middle of the street:
I normally don't talk to strangers unless I am lost and I need directions. The same works the other way around, strangers only talk to me if they need information. But this cute stranger kept "talking" to me , even walked next to me for a little while, let me scratch his head and allowed some pictures.
I don't have any pets, this cat was so sweet and the first one I have ever met in the snow. Which made me think of "Cats on Tuesday" and I quickly grasped my first and maybe only chance to participate even as catless as I am! Thank you, feline stranger, for letting me post about you :)
That's really nice of you that you found a "victim" for posting ! Don't you have some neighbor cats visiting your garden ? Here is a real cat traffic going on, so many cats ! Most of our neighbors also have 2 or 3 or more. Only very few dogs, probably because a cat is more easily to "use" they are so independant.
ReplyDeleteYour holidays seemed to be very nice although you had less snow than the other years. The most important is : you changed decor ! And that does always good.
I tried to comment yesterday, but Google Blogger refused although I moved over to "new Blogger" in an overloaded truck !
First let me wish you a Happy new Year... Am really busy these days at office... our third quarter closing is on... I am kind of envious... all that snow.... have never experienced snow in my life.... looks so nice...
ReplyDeletehey, the post is soo sweet! you had a really lovely experience with the cat. And hey, since I have Cats! myself! you can check them out..
ReplyDeleteAawwww, what a little cutie. I don't think I have ever seen a cat in the snow before. She seemed like a very friendly kitty ... wonder if she had a home ??
ReplyDeleteTake care, Meow
I just adore friendly animals! What a pretty cat!
ReplyDeleteAw, he looks so sweet. I love that he chose to walk with you for a while.
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience a few months back. I was taking a stroll around a lake in a park when a very vociferous (sp?) cat joined me for half a lap. It was quite funny.
What a beautiful meet. And this is the kind of stranger I am always stopping and chatting with! Seems the snow did not bother the little paws at all!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a great post and a gorgeous kitty!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Hope you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteA new feline friend. :) I made some friends with some stray cats in Venice when I was there. My friend calls me Ms. Doolittle
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure have a lot of snow! What a lovely cat. So sweet that he walked with you for a while.
ReplyDeleteThis kitty must have a great home... purrhaps he/she was trying to persuade you that you really NEED a cat companion. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to meet a new friend. Glad you got some shotz of him! Catz are often so friendly to strangers like that, it's as if they have no fear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet cat! I'm a sucker for friendly felines. It seems like the ones with that colouring are usually quite talkative.
