OK I know this is early, but I didn't do a Scavenger Hunt this week and anyway, snow - we had it! It started on Saturday afternoon and continued into the night. When this morning came we had a beautiful white world awaiting us. I say us... apart from Charlie, none of the other cats were interested in stepping foot outside the back door (not that it was much warmer inside as OUR BOILER HAS BROKEN DOWN!!!!!). Anyway, moment of hysteria over - here are some pics of Charlie doing his Call of the Wild thing.
He's not sure is he?!?
He creeps along the wall to investigate further...
He takes another look at it...
He takes another look at it...
He sits, he thinks, he considers the pros and cons...
He takes the plunge!
There's no stopping him now!
Bravely traversing the huge drifts,
he makes
his way to the bench to check that
Little Creep
hasn't holed up in an igloo somewhere
in HIS garden...
in HIS garden...
...and then he fearlessly stands watch at the gate,
selflessly guarding his home and family
selflessly guarding his home and family
from marauding polar bears and the like.
(Although he said they were welcome
Your kitty is gonna have some "paw-sicles" by the looks of that snow :)

Brave Charlie - what a trooper!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your boiler - brrr!!
Thanks :O) I'm drinking a very large glass of red wine to try and forget about it...
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Charlie you are one brave cat! that snow looks very cold. Hope your boiler comes back on ASAP. Sounds dangerous to be without heat in such cold weather. Look after yourself!
ReplyDeleteI hope your boiler gets fixed really quick!
ReplyDeleteToo Funny!!! You capture your cats perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a guy! Brave, devoted and..... cold! I pity any polar bear who takes HIM on! Great photo-story! :o)

Ah, what a truly cool cat is our Charlie. :-) Perhaps his Amulet of Evil protects him from the cold! Or maybe he really is one tough hombre. I adore the last photo, especially. Such an endearing one of him guarding hearth and home from polar bears and Abominable Snowmen (or perhaps just keeping a keen eye peeled for boiler repairmen!), but the black of the fence and the white of the snow goes so well with his black and white fur.
ReplyDeleteStay warm (or at least well wined!!) :-)
I've just noticed... where IS Charlie's amulet of evil????!? I think we should be told!
ReplyDeleteBeaucoup de joie a regarder ces belles photos d'un chat magnifique.:)
ReplyDeleteNadezda - merci :O)
ReplyDeleteLol ! that's exactly the way my cats react to the first snow too ! they all creep along the wall before putting a paw in this white stuff !
ReplyDeleteTehehe me too walk along the wall to try too avoid the snow before I decides if I should plunge out in the snow or if I shall ran inside again :)
ReplyDeleteOMG (Oh My Gato!) ~ you're right! He's just wearing a bell and tag now! I checked Charlie's photos from last week's Cats on a Tuesday post, and he was diabolically blocking any view of his collar bangles with his paw and with his body. There is wickedness afoot, I tell you! And so I sense another Drama in the Garden episode brewing! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCharlie the brave, master of his domain - We salute you! And we almost envy your snow, of which we have none despite its being February.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures of Charlie in the snow! Our gang enjoys looking at snow through the window but no one has any interest in going out in it!
ReplyDeletereally brave. our bones are shaking from cold by just looking at that white blanket on the ground.
ReplyDeleteemma and buster
Charlie, first let me say - you are a very handsome black & white man cat like me!! You also very brave to go outside in that cold white stuff! Burrr...paws up to you, friend!
