Our new friend doesn't talk much :) !

Hey PT! This is Candy and Tom, from Kat-barchan, speaking!

We must tell you about a very strange day we had. That day was Sunday when we woke up and gosh, you should have SEEN our garden. It looked really W-E-I-R-D, like someone had dumped all this kind of white? stuff all over it. AND, brrrrrr it was ever so cold too and felt all yukky and wet on our little pawsies so much so that when walking through this stuff (which BTW is actually called Snow????) we had to do the kitty-flicky-shaky-paw dance - which seems to cause the hoomins no end of amusement, do yours react the same way?? :confused: :confused:

anyway, after a bit of deciding, we were of the mind that it was actually quite fun for a bit so here's some pictures we thought you might like to see..

You can imagine our shock on waking up to this!

Candy bravely trail blazed to see exactly what the situation was

Hmmmmmm, this is worse than I had thought.. :eek: :eek:

At this point, PT, we had both headed back indoors but the hoomins for some reason stayed out in the snow for like AGES longer and took a few more pictures.

Some smallholdings just along from our house

This, believe it or not, is a disused railway line which now forms a cycle track

That's all for now, lots of love, Candy and Tomxxxxx (PS Max was too busy sleeping on Sunday so we doubt he even noticed we had snow!)

PPS meowmie apologises for soo many non-official pictures, but you will understand we weren't in the mood to pose much that day :D :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

GREAT PICS !!! Wow, very impressing, we never get so much snow around here :( :(

[catfamily]

OMG!!! I LOVE those pictures!! I am someone who LOVES the snow.And those are beautiful beautiful pictures.I wish I was there enjoying it with you.Just beautiful. :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Hi Candy and Tom

I'm amazed to read your report of all that white stuff left in your garden, because someone did that to our garden on Sunday too! Do you think it was the same people?

This is me intrepidly going out my door
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid202/p5512ae616dc24dfa25c7b76a5926f0da/efd47604.jpg

Here I am trying to find enough room to do the kitty-flicky-shaky-paw dance!

After a brief stroll to the garage and back, we all spent the day inside!

Warmly,
Samantha

[kilbarchancats]

Thanks everyone for your replies!! :D

We forgot to mention thought that all of the snow has gone now, and our garden is back to normal. :(

Samantha - we think you are on to something and between us we must alert Mew-I 6 to catch these baddies before they strike again.! :eek:

[prechrswife]

Wow!! Beautiful snow pictures. :)

[Felix]

Great photos! :)

[Laura's Babies]

:eek: MY GOSH! It is just hard to believe that while I had all my windows open and it was a beautiful day in the Sunny South, that somewhere in the world, some kitties got up to find all that white stuff outside!

I really enjoyed looking at that white stuff but I know it has to be far to cold outside for it to be there and I just can't take that cold.

Can I have that first one to use in my background folder to use in playing with pictures?.. I just LOVE this one! Those steps remind me so much of the ones in the yard of the house my Grand Daddy built for my Grandma in the early 1900's.

This is wahtmy neighborhood usually looks like at Winter Time,but we have had almost no snow at all this Year.
I just hope we dont have a delayed Winter in April and May.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Great pictures! I take it you don't get snow like this much?

Candy & Tom, yes, we silly hoomans adore the kitty-flicky-shaky-paw dance. :D :D

And Samantha, you brave soul! Were Jessica and Daisy not as brave?

This is an old video of Tubby, trying to brave the snow and demonstrating the kitty-flicky-shaky-paw dance a few times. :D

[kimlovescats]

Now THAT is some snow!!!! I'm so jealous! We're lucky if we get a couple of inches anymore! Waaaaaaah! :( :p

Beautiful pics of the snow and your babies romping about in it! :D

[orangemm]

Loved the pictures of the snow! And, the one of your street is just beautiful. A dear friend of mine visited Scotland several years ago and she RAVED about it; made me want to hop a plane the next day!



The Tubby video is so cute!

[catnapper]

Oooo... what a cutie pir your new friend is. You better watch out for him though, those guys have ahabit of just disappearing into thin air, leaving just a watery spot where they once stood ;) :p

[catfamily]

These pictures are PARADISE to me.I want SNOW SNOW SNOW!!! There's been hardley any snow this winter in Maine which is unusual.
Gary (catmandu)in Canada said the same for where he is.
I can't stop looking at these beautiful pictures.They are really uplifting me today :D :D

[Barbara]

Hi, all ye Scottish kitties,
can you imagine we have that white cold stuff here for months now.
We just refuse to go outside on our balcony and stay on the heating.
We can recommend that.

Filou and Tigris

[Killearn Kitties]

It's very rare for us to get so much snow and for it to last a couple of days. Normally if we get snow, it is not very deep and it is quite wet and melts very quickly.

Debbie, I remember when you posted that video of adorable Tubby before. I love it when he puts his paw up on the step and it does straight through the edge of the snow! :D What a sweethert.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Eddie and Edwina want you guys to know they are very jealous! They haven't seen "the white Stuff" for nearly two years!

[Laura's Babies]

Mine have never seen it but I got a picture of them in it now!

[kilbarchancats]

sweet, sweet tubby boy. How I so ENJOYED seeing your video. My only complaint is that it was not long enough as I would have loved it to be feature-length but I do understand the harsh conditions were too much for you on that day! :D

And as for you LAURA!!!!!!! what a wonderful, wonderful sight your picture was to me. I am smiling so much this morning :D :D . You are just so clever :cool: . Max, Candy and Tom want to rush out just now to join their new friends and are glad to know the angels are watching over them. xx

Anyway, Candy and Tom thank everyone for their kind replies

[catfamily]

It's nice to see Laura's cats also enjoying the snow ;) What fun :D

[kb2yjx]

Wonderful photos!!!!

[momcat]

Hello there Candy and Tom! Sure looks like you brave little kitties had a great time in the snow. Have your pawsies warmed up? I really envy both of you, I love snow but we don't get much anymore. Too bad Max missed out on sharing this adventure with you. Your town is so pretty looking with all that snow :)
