Catching snowflakes

Beatrix with "her cat"

It snowed a bit this evening, but has already stopped with no accumulation.  My kids are disappointed of course.  (but wait, it’s picking up again…maybe we’ll have a bit of snow on the ground yet.)

Beatrix stood in the snow happily catching flakes in her mouth for some time.  Jonny I were afraid that Intruder would bite her, as he has a tendency to bite legs.

We warned her, but she assured us that he’s “her cat” and wouldn’t bite her.  He didn’t.

    He might be a literal ankle biter, but that kitty clearly loves Miss Beatrix. 🙂

    I love these pictures and I agree with the other comments. Intruder definitely looks like he loves his girl. And Bea is having so much fun with the snow. I could look at pictures like this for a very long time. Innocence complete!

    Thanks a bunch,

    Blessings,

    Betsy

    Wow, Ginny–I really did laugh out loud! Bea is always good for a smile, but the cat demanding her attention made it all the funnier! Love this, and will share it with Bret and the kids…

    Beautiful pictures! Beautiful cat. And of course, beautiful daughter! Pink and snowflakes would be one of my favourite combinations, I believe.

    Intruder certainly does seem to be her cat going by the amount of affection he’s putting into trying to get her attention. Absolutely gorgeous – cat, girl and snow!

    I know, my kids feel the same way…hoping it will snow a bunch and cover the grass so we can really enjoy it! I do, too.
    Amazing how loving your cat is, almost as big at Beatrix…precious. My daughter has a top with the same leaf pattern as your daughter’s leggings!

    hahahahahaha Bea and Intruder – each completely engrossed in their individual objectives, oblivious to the other’s.

    So sweet. This winter certainly has been a let down in the snow department. Earlier this week they were saying possibly an inch or so (her in Southern PA) but we didn’t even get that.

    Amazing pictures! Being a cat person, I totally dig the levitating cat pose. Intruder looks like my Ramses. He’ll do anything for a scratch from the right person, too.

    He LOVES her! My cats generally zip far far away when the 2 1/2 year old is nearby. This is awesome.

    Yes, he does look like he is enjoying himself with his girl.
    How nice to watch the snow fall even if it didn’t hang around. We received some much needed rain so I am thankful.
