Tig wanted to check out the snow. Look: Tigger tracks!
Aha! The culprit!
Let’s wander around and check things out.
Time to come back inside.
Ah, much warmer. Snow? I have snow on me? Says who?
The Catmage Chronicles
Andy thought he was going crazy when a talking cat showed up at his front door. He couldn’t have been more wrong.Goldeneyes is a Catmage – a cat with human intelligence and magical abilities. Andy is an eighth grader who is smart, impulsive, and trying to avoid the school bully at all costs. A prophecy threw them together. There’s just one problem: Goldeneyes can’t stand humans.The Catmage world is heading toward war. Goldeneyes and Andy must try to stop the enemy from getting stronger. And they must save a powerful Catmage who’s been kidnapped. For Goldeneyes, it’s personal. That Catmage is her grandmother.Andy and Goldeneyes must try to put aside their differences. If they can’t, the enemy will soon be too powerful to defeat…
Cute! Tig is brave, my Siamese Coco will barely let his paw touch the snow!
We are expecting a foot of snow in Minneapolis over the next 48 hours, argh!
It’s that marvelous Maine coon cat coat. It protects him against the cold AND the heat. I want one. (But not at the cost of a kitty’s life. Perhaps I should collect his sheddings and make a sweater.)
Ah, the magic Maine Coon coat. And paws. And face. And… and….
How’s Gracie taking the weather?
Tiggy! You have built in snow shoes
It looks like Tig had quite an adventure! Love those Tig paw prints!
Good grief. So, so many toes…
J.
Damn. I’ve hunted things with smaller tracks.
Hi Meryl;
Well, perhaps not a coat, but a scarf or some mittens are possible. Try a Google search on the terms “pet fur spinning yarn”. There are a fair number of folks who will take the results of your brushing Tig and make yarn…and from there, anything you want. Might take a while to gather enough material, but I’ll bet he loves to be brushed, so it’s a win-win.
Two examples:

I would do this, but I have devons, who are very short haired…it would take years to gather enough to make anything significant.
Kev, Maine coons tend to have big feet. It’s part of their charm. And they have fur between their toes. That’s not part of their charm. That’s a major pain in the ass when clipping claws. But he only weights sixteen pounds. Tig 2 was bigger. This one is a very long cat. Tig the first was the fattest Tig. I put him on a diet when he reached twenty pounds and his belly fur started brushing the ground.
I blame myself. I believe that a fat cat is a happy cat. All of my cats are happy.
Yeah, I actually had a Maine Coon myself a few years back, complete with the extra dewclaw. Your pics always bring fond memories of him.
