Winter is coming. Take your cat out into the snow.

I don't know about you, but I'm a winter person. I prefer the crisp air to the humid heat. I love the long coats and high boots. I think snow is much prettier than a beachy sand. And some cats agree with me… The outside is beautiful in winter, and the house gets cozier. And what cat doesn't like a cozy environment? Yeah, exactly. It makes me think that, in theory, every winter person is much more of a cat person than the average summer enjoyer. I mean, if you're a summer person who's also a cat person, please do correct me - because as much as I like winter and cats, I also like random statistical anomalies.

So strap your boots on, fellow feline fans, because it's going to be crisp and cute. Both because cats are cute in general, and because it's absolutely adorable seeing cats in a special or unique environment.

Winter has officially begun, but you might not get snow yet. But who knows, maybe it's the year you'll be able to get your cat leash-trained and snow-adjusted to walk with them outside in winter's beauty? I hope for you you'll make it. My cat and I are crossing our paws for you.

Why would cats even love snow so much? Well, snow is basically a giant fluffy playground for cats. The snow brings a lot of new smells and textures for a cat to explore, so walking through it can feel like an adventure for them. Kittens especially love it because they're more playful by nature (like all kids), and seeing them pounce through thick snow is simply adorable. Snow can really be a purrfect environment for cats.

But why do some cats not like snow as much as others? For some cats, snow is a blanket of unpleasant wetness and cold, which triggers their sensitive paws when they walk on it. And have you ever seen a cat enjoying soggy fur? Yeah, me neither. But snow tends to do that - it's basically water in a different form. And while snow can bring many new smells a cat might be curious about, it also masks the familiar smells they usually know from the yard and the street, which could get them stressed. Besides, most cats don't like being cold - they much prefer a warm sunbeam.
