Wordy Wednesday

Let me in!!!

Clever boy :-)

This is Oscar, my brother's cat who lives in rural Sweden.  It is about -5C during the day and -20C at night so trips outside are only a few minutes then he knocks at the window to come back inside.  My brother and his wife wait dutifully at the window to make sure he isn't out too long.  Oscar is very well trained...or are they? 

Foreign Friday

These are my brother Duncan's cats Oscar and Lucinda, they live in Sweden where it snows a lot.  However, they do not like the snow as it hampers their activities.

Would you look at that Luci... it's snowing again!

They live in a rural area and are very outdoorsy kitties.  Oscar has daily patrols to make and there are interlopers to be chased away.  But when winter comes, they are not so keen to be outdoors.

See my nose... a hazard of the job!


They go out every day just to confirm they hate the cold weather. The average "out" time is probably two minutes and then they want back in again.  This process repeats itself throughout the day.  If it is really cold the two minute out time decreases to about two seconds and they want back inside before the door has even shut behind them! 

Silly Oscar, I'll stay inside where its warm

Since Sweden sees more than 100 days of snow in any given winter, I'm thinking it would behoove them to find a way to enjoy the white stuff!
