After I put up that video clip of an elephant playing in snow a couple of days ago, a couple of readers asked why, since Miss D. and I have cats, we hadn’t put up a video of cats and snow.
All right, then . . .
Happy now?

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

What's better than kittens in the snow?

They're all good entertainment.
A couple of those cats may actually be chasing mice. They run around at/near ground level in snow tunnels they have formed by moving through it. They still need to access food, and the snow gives them the feeling that they are safe. If it's quiet enough, the cats will hear them. They may also be able to smell them, but I'm not sure about that.
In some snow conditions, you can see the snow move as the mouse makes his tunnel. That tends to stay visible until new snow.
Owls can catch them running under snow, also.

Maybe, but on the on the other hand, we used to have a cat that would kick up snowballs and pounce on them. No mice needed!
