Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Culture Shock


The people came home late last night.
From 80 in Tucson to -10 here in Minneapolis today.
We are buried in snow from this huge blizzard that came when they were gone.
They're scratching their heads! A little snow here & there last Thursday when they snuck away before sunrise to 2 feet of snow when they get back.
Things collapsing too! They watched the Metrodome cave in and were hoping they would not get a flight back and have to stay in the Valley of the Sun for an extra day. How could they even think that? Here we are, riding out the storm at home and they are off frolicking in the sun laughing at cacti wrapped in Christmas lights!
But one thing Minneapolis does really well and that's dig out from storms and they came in on time.
Back to reality, sorry folks!

We would take the heat over the snow any day, but we are glad they have made it safely back to you.

Oh, humans are silly about stuff like that, never putting the kitties first! They should have taken you with them! Seriously, the desert is like one GINORMOUS litterbox...

We were worried about you. When we heard and saw the video on the weather conditions we wondered how much trouble you would have in getting back. We are glad you are safe and that the kitties are doing well.

Yikes! I would have been hoping to stay in Tucson too ... all that snow you are having right now is no fun at all. So glad you are warm and inside!
