Today we were down to five cats in the cattery. As soon as I walked into the room I was greeted by Chief who was hanging out in the cat tree. He was quick to meow and make sure I was going to pay him attention. Chief was then quite happy to receive lots of pets and chin scratches. Rhapsy popped her head out of the cubby portion of the cat tree. She jumped out of the tree and came over to rub against my legs and demand some attention. Chief and Rhapsy were also sharing their turn out with Shimmer and Missy. Shimmer was hanging out in his cubby having a little mid-morning snack. Missy was curled up in her cubby having some nice quiet time. Next I went to visit with Ava. She was curled up asleep in her basket. As soon as she realized I was in the room and had opened her cubby she was eagerly awaiting some pets and scratches.
Groups
Beanie and Poochio were the warmest two outside with their adorable sweaters. They both weren't too sure about the snow when they first saw it but they both liked the exploring opportunity that the new snow brought. Poochio loved exploring the yard with his sister and some of his best friends today even if it was a little chilly outside. We didn't stay out too long though because it was really cold and even though Beanie and Poochio were having a great time outside they were very excited to go inside to play. Beanie was so happy to be inside today and she came right over to me for some snuggles to get warmed up before going to play with some of her friends. Poochio ran around barking and rubbing himself against the walls in delight at how warm it was. Even for a really cold day Beanie and Poochio had a splendid time.
Coco and Timbits were so excited about all of the snow today that they could run around and play in together. Coco was having a great time roaming around in the snow and searching for some of the amazing smells that the fresh snow had brought. Timbits was having a hard time trying to find someone to play with in this cold weather but eventually he found Tennya who was really excited to have someone to play with too. Coco saw how much fun Timbits was having and she joined in on their game. Timbits and Coco were so excited when they could continue their play inside with a new addition. Xiao Bao joined them and they all played around in the playroom and had a great time. They both had a wonderful day in the snowstorm. Timbits had some extra attention time where he practiced all of his amazing skills such as sit, stay, place and some recall work.
Tennya is such a sweetheart but one thing she's not really sure about is the snow. She went outside with me and the others and at first she didn't really know what to think about the snow until some of her friends came and got her to go and play with them. She immediately became very excited and happy and she chased them around the yard. Then it was time to go inside and she was a lot happier playing in the playroom with her friends than being out in the cold snow.
Kouza was such a silly girl today when it came to going outside. She didn't want to go out for the longest time but when she finally got out she was having a great time. She walked around with some of the others exploring the now snow covered ground. She would sometimes stop to bark at the snow falling around her which would confuse some of her friends and would make me laugh a lot. When it was time to go into the playroom she didn't want to leave the outside; instead she wanted to continue barking at the snowflakes. Finally she came into her kennel covered in snow and she seemed like she had lots of fun outside.
Nanook was so excited about the snow, he ran right outside and started rolling in the snow joyfully. He would run around the others in excitement and bounce around in the snow playfully. He was having so much fun outside that he didn't want to come inside at all. Instead he would run away and then roll in the snow again and take in mouthfuls to eat as he ran around me. I played with him like this for the longest time before it was time to actually go inside and he was quite tired at this point and followed me right inside. Nanook had the best time today and he was so happy by the end of the day.
Xiao Bao was such a cutie in his cute little coat to help keep him warm in this cold weather. He became really cold while we were outside so I picked him up and held him close to me to try and warm him up a little. He really liked being able to snuggle up to me so I held him until we went inside to play with the others. I set him down in the playroom and he ran right over to Timbits, Coco and Tennya, who were playing together. He joined them in their games now that it was warmer and he had a great time with them for the rest of playtime.
Emcy, Ordi and Hickstead are the cutest little guys and girl ever and they all really love being pet and getting cuddles. We went outside together and they were having a great time running around in the snow and rolling around in it. Emcy was exploring in the yard and looking at all the new snow that had fallen. Hickstead ran around very excited and tried to play with Ordi and Emcy but they both were more interested in exploring than playing. After all of their excitement over the snow they all came over for lots of cuddles and hugs. They all had a great time and they are all so sweet and I had fun playing with them.
Everyone was loving all the snow. Jax L went running out into the snow before he came running back over to me practically vibrating in excitement. He then went bouncing off to see Dawson, Paisley and Chloe. Duke had gone to do a little exploring in the snow. When he saw that Jax was no longer with me, he came running over to get some pets. Shortly after he spotted Jax and Dawson racing around in the far yard. Duke went booking it after them to join in. Spencer spent some time doing a little exploring in the snow. He then found himself being asked to play by Jax. They ran around together for a little while before Spencer decided to go back and do some more exploring. He could only explore for so long before he needed to get back to leaping through the snow. In the main yard Percy was having his own fun racing around where the snow was a little less thick. He finally couldn't stand not being with the rest of the group, so he went charging out to the far yard to race around with Magic and Brenyn. Dawson soon went running to join them. Brenyn ended up splitting off to go and see about getting Spencer to play with her . Magic continued to race around with Percy on her heels. Dawson left them to go and join Duke and Jax. A little while later Jax and Duke continued to play with one another while Dawson and Percy started to race around together. Duke later took a break from playing to have himself a little snack of snow. Spencer wondering what he was doing went over to watch and to maybe see if Duke would play with him. Spencer then decided to not play with Duke and instead do a little exploring in the snow. Duke then went back to playing with Jax.
The last group of the morning couldn't wait to get outside and into the snow. Sky, Isis, Roobee and Riley started tearing around the yard having a ton of fun frolicking in the snow. Something caught Isis's eye so she went to go and check it out. Sky wondering what she was up to went running over to check it out as well. When Sky had seen enough she came scuttling over to me for some pets. She soon got all frisky and wanted to play with my gloves. I had to turn down her request for my gloves. Sky wasn't too upset and was still happy to play with me. Riley and Roobee continued to run and jump through the snow together. Isis soon raced over to join them. Sky decided to not join the fun and instead amused herself digging and being a goof in the snow.
