23 Heartwarming Holiday Animal Posts for When it's Too Cold to Go Outside

I don't know if it's just me, but this winter came in hot (or, well, freezing) and way earlier than anyone asked for. Last year we were all begging the sky to give us at least a dusting of snow for Christmas, the one day of the year where it feels aesthetically appropriate. And this year it showed up weeks early like an overenthusiastic guest who doesn't understand boundaries.

Suddenly every human is trapped in a seasonal dilemma of not wanting to go outside, but our dogs are legally required to touch grass.

And of course, the dogs aren't thrilled either. They're out here in tiny jackets and little booties, giving us the most offended looks imaginable because salt on the sidewalks is apparently a personal attack.

The only creatures actually thriving right now are the house cats, lounging indoors like the kings and queens they believe they are. While the rest of us are slipping on ice and negotiating with our dogs about the necessity of booties, cats are stretched out on heated blankets, unbothered. They don't have to set a single paw outside, and they know it.
