Footsteps in the snow

The snow has lasted and lasted, confusing every creature – especially our cat ..

She has rushed outside into the garden, a world of white, cold, softness that no longer resembled her familiar territory. Then she has quickly returned, bounding at thrice the pace, back into the warm house and curling tightly up into a ball to warm herself up again. After this, she has simply eaten and eaten and eaten .. would she ever be satisfied? The cold seemingly makes every creature and every person require more and more food to stave off the bitter cold!
