Snow magic for the cats

Out into the snow they go... well, not all of them; Scrapper, Pacyfik and Arcturus spent several hours in the snow yesterday. Czester and Céleste spent yesterday inside my warm kitchen. This morning, Scrapper wants some more snow action, but Pacio and Arkcio have decided to stay in. 

Scrapper was first out of the door, before I could get out with my camera. Below: the start of the expedition – who's in and who's out? In the foreground, Céleste and Czester are about to follow Scrapper into the garden while Pacio and Arkcio decide that venturing outdoors is not for them right now. Wenusia was first out, and last back in.

Below: Scrapper is a natural in this environment. He's really enjoying himself, and was very keen to get out as soon as he'd finished breakfast.

Czester's autumn-themed camouflage not working very well here. He was the only kitten in the litter with a normal-length tail.

Below: Céleste (la bellissima) is attired for the snow. Coat by Courrèges.

Below: halfway down the garden. Scrapper is in the lead. He is bounding through snow in huge leaps, clearly very keen on the stuff.

We go to the end of the drive and turn into the forest next door. We regroup at the fallen tree, then go off to explore further. Below: Czester adds a dash of colour to the snow scene.

Below: heading back to the house, through a magical garden of wintery delight, the cherry trees covered with snow. Sgt. Scrapper leads the way

Evening falls, and it's time for me to set off for my long walk. Below: Céleste is at the window to bid me farewell. Ain't she pretty?

It'll all melt before too long.
