The snowstorm is over; about 6″ landed on the driveway. Kenai Dawn on the Mountain, our youngest Maine Coon, hadn’t yet had the pleasure of being “thrown” (dropped actually 
) into the snow. So this morning we took him out and let him experience his “heritage” (Maine coons are supposed to be working cats that originally lived in the barns and helped keep the vermin down. Of course, Kenai’s ancestors haven’t done anything like that in generations).
Now remember, all of our cats are indoor cats–the usual reaction is “What the rotten catfood is this white stuff? I’m going back indoors NOW”. Kenai is much more laid back. He pretty much stood there. He still didn’t know that that messy white stuff was–he kept his foot in the air for quite a while–but he didn’t run. After he had his picture taken, we picked him up and took him back inside. He promptly went to the cat food dish and started munching down.

Rubeus Augustus, our inside Maine Coon actually liked it in the snow. His housemate, a red tabby domestic, hated it.
