On Friday, we got snow – about 3 inches of it, maybe a bit more (I didn’t measure.)
As I’d said repeatedly last weekend, everyone would go home this past weekend if weather permitted. Obviously, weather did not permit – so they’re staying a bit longer!
They spent a lot of time watching the birds while it snowed.
Saturday the sun came out, and Tina puzzled over how the snow glistened in the sunshine.
The snow is mostly melted – we still have a patch here and there, but expect it’ll be completely gone by the end of the day.
After we had our fill of staring at the sun and the birds, Fred got out Da Bird feather teaser (link for reference) and while Carmy wasn’t all that interested in chasing it, Tina and Richie (DEFINITELY Richie) had some fun.
I love how it looks like she’s sneaking across the room on tippytoe.
Richie goes wild.
That boy can JUMP.
There he goes again! (Please note Carmy’s Ears of Annoyance.)
He’s FLYINNNNNNNG!
The pointed toes!
So close!
This is probably my favorite, with him looking directly at me. Right after I got this picture, he crash-landed in my lap.

Alice wishes they’d keep it quiet up there.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) this weekend.
Tina says “Rowr.” (If I ever walk into the room to see the cube right side up, I swear I’ll pass out from the shock. It’s always sideways or upside-down!)
Former fosters Amber (Ambercup, 2015 – with some white) and Stardust (2017) have merged into the rare two-headed cat! (Hey, whatever keeps you warm, right?)
(Thanks Debra!)

I call this one “the leaping cube.” Well, maybe “the hopping cube” would be more accurate?
Carmy (near) and Richie (far) are keeping an eye out for those birds.

Good night innernets. (Carmy (left) and Richie)
Yesterday it snowed (which is not usual for North Alabama)! We got about 3″. Rocco strolled around the property to be sure there was snow EVERYWHERE (yes, it’s cold out there. No, I didn’t bring him in – he brought himself in. Perhaps I’ve mentioned that there’s a cat door into the garage where he has two heated beds AND a space heater?). Tina, Carmy and Richie kept a very close eye on the birds.

We had snow yesterday (not usual for North Alabama) and Tina, Richie and Carmy spent the day “hunting” birds out the window.

Richie continues to love that dangly mouse toy!
Good night innernets. (Richie)
Remember how last weekend I said “Carmy and Richie (together) and Tina will go home next weekend, weather permitting”? Well, weather did not permit – we got snow, the adopters got MORE snow which makes the roads treacherous, and so Richie, Carmy and Tina are with us ’til next weekend!
Carmy loaf! (My favorite!)

It’s bath time for Carmy and Richie. Thlurrp thlurrp thlurrp!
Good night innernets. (Tina, with Richie behind her.)

What great snow pictures! ::Says in best Charlie Brown voice “I got sleet”:: 🙁
And I loved revisiting the snow of 2011! Aww happy George and Gracie frolicking around Crooked Acres!
Choreographer George Balanchine supposedly used his cats to inspire his ballet moves…
Such a lovely picture of your snowy yard! Is is common to have so many cardinals in one spot at the same time down South? I normally only see one, or possibly a mated pair at my feeders. Signed, a jealous Northerner 😉
I think we finally have a challenger to Everett Peppers’s Best Jumper Ever title! Richie certainly has a greater variety of cool moves.
Wow, Richie, some REALLY impressive moves! I especially like the open mouth on some of them–like he was SURE he would make a meal of that bird! The pointed toes are pretty cool too!
