Cats and the cold outdoors

This morning, our garden shed roof was glistening white. The first frostbite of the year! This means of course chilly temperatures, which however should not yet affect the cats that much. 

Spook, brave Norwegian Forest Cat
Still, Miss Sayath, a Norwegian Forest refused to even sniff the air and stayed indoors, sleeping under the bed. And Miss Troel, also thickfurred Norwegian Forest, decided that walking in and out counted as much as staying outside - so after a final sunbask she turned her back on the garden. Same for Patches, Bowie and Tiger. They really seemed to detest this early wintery cold. 

The only brave one was Spook. While all the others were already snuggled up inside, he was still strutting in the garden, his big Norwegian Forester paws managing the cold wet grass. When realising he was all alone, he eventually came back in. But only because he was feeling very alone. Just so you know.
