Does your cat like the snow?

I took mine out just now as she hasn't seen it before, there are 3 pawprints in the snow as she quickly bounced back inside Grin

I thought she'd be more curious!

HATES it! Stuck one paw in it and ran in yeowling

The novelty has worn off... day one Fluffcat went and explored. He even lay down in it... BatCat had a lovely time batting the snow around and playing chase. They’ve gradually spent less and less time outside and more and more time in the kitchen which has underfloor heating Grin

Fluffcat in his element

Mine is a little wary of it but has gone out a couple of times for the toilet, he's come in very quickly after though!

He was not impressed when he went skidding down the back garden this morning though Grin and has refused to go out the back since!

Passmethecrisps · 02/03/2018 21:18

Not impressed here at all. We had a wee incident the other night which may have been the door to their tray being blown shut or a flat refusal to go outside/use the tray provided.

I have since witnessed one of them using the green house as a latrine. Better than under the dining table

@Weedsnseeds1 What fantastic pictures! Impressed by these brave snow-loving cats. Mine have been eyeing it dubiously from the window.

MyNewBearTotoro · 02/03/2018 21:20

Mine can’t stand it. Refused to go outside so we’ve had to get out the litter box!

littlewoollypervert · 02/03/2018 21:23

She sat looking at it for 10 mins but wouldn't go out. Her sister sat on the stairs...

No she hates it.

Weedsnseeds1 · 02/03/2018 21:50

Gorgeous cat mommy is he a particular breed that's adapted to snow? Mine is not quite as enthusiastic now it's over his head!

Weedsnseeds1 · 02/03/2018 21:51

Hmmm minky damn you autocorrect!

SunnySellsShells · 03/03/2018 07:31

Mine refused to go out on Wednesday or Thursday. Yesterday she finally ventured outside and then she didn’t want to come back in!

MinkyWinky · 03/03/2018 09:33

weeds we have no idea. We adopted him from a shelter when he was three. He certainly looks like he’s made for snow Grin

fusushumi · 03/03/2018 13:48

Mine did the hokey cokey:
He put his left paw in, his left paw out
In out, in out and shook it all about
Then came back indoors in disgust and has been asleep by the radiator ever since

Footofthestairs · 03/03/2018 13:50

Nope, she's not doing the snow, not at all. Hasn't been out and is permanently sat by the radiator or on any available lap.

Mine loved it last time we had snow but are being kept in this time as I've just moved house. They are looking longingly through the windows Sad

YesItsMeIDontCare · 03/03/2018 15:52

Hates it. Lasts no more than 30 seconds. I had no idea he was so pathetic about it, I thought he'd be the type to love a good cronch.

DH is currently out clearing snow off the patio and the front so he'll go out later. Spoilt.

Girl cat popped out for a walk round but hated it.. It's 5 inches deep in parts and went up to her armpitsGrin
Boy cat didn't even bother going out. just looked at it with disgust!
They both prefer the bed!

He's sort of not impressed but will still go out rather than use the litter tray

I did cut him a path to his toilet

So after DH's hard work at clearing the snow for no reason other than Leroy's convenience... Leroy went lolloping around the lawn where it's still over a foot deep. And then came in. 🤷🏼‍♀️

ImNotAFlower · 03/03/2018 21:33

We "popped" ours out. His feet literally landed like that and he sprang back in, then spent the next hour glaring at us 😂

Peachyking000 · 03/03/2018 21:37

Ours absolutely love it. They are free to come and go into the house/garden as they please, via cat flap, but they have spent much of the day outside, and the garden is full of paw prints all over the snow. Unfortunately they have brought in 3 little birds in the past 2 days though

mineofuselessinformation · 03/03/2018 21:52

My old boy doesn't like it one bit!
He's somewhere around 20 and has stayed in, even in the colder weather before all of this...
He has not been impressed by going in his tray whilst I've been in the house (went on poo-strike for two days) but he's got over it now. 😷
I'm just glad it's thawing a bit so he might be more comfortable. I even cleared him a path and made somewhere on the garden he could go, but it was too chilly for him! Smile

Ollivander84 · 03/03/2018 21:53

No. He went outside, tiptoed around the frozen bits then screamed at me to come back in to his sheepskin lined igloo bed

Ollivander84 · 03/03/2018 21:54

In fact here are his thoughts
