cats on tuesday: feline on my way

cats on tuesday

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 :)

  1. 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.
    Your 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 !

  4. Aawwww, 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 ??
    Take care, Meow

  6. Aw, he looks so sweet. I love that he chose to walk with you for a while.

    I 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.

  7. 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!

  12. This kitty must have a great home... purrhaps he/she was trying to persuade you that you really NEED a cat companion. Who knows?

  13. He 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.

  14. What a sweet cat! I'm a sucker for friendly felines. It seems like the ones with that colouring are usually quite talkative.
