This winter has seen some astonishingly low temps and heavy snow even in places that normally enjoy mild winter weather. In fact, the chilly weather has even stopped one finicky feline from pursuing her favorite pursuit: meowing to be let out and then meowing to be let back in.
A user on Japan’s Toychan Net message board posted the following photo this morning along with the message, “Cold-looking paw prints. With just those two impressions, we can clearly imagine the situation.”
It’s clear as day: Cat steps outside. Cat feels cold and wet. Cat goes back inside to warm nook or cranny to sleep all day. Humans are jealous.
To make you feel better, here’s a cat commuting through the slush just like you.
