Winter fashion / first snow with Scooby

In this post Scooby models the latest winter fashion.

A while back Scooby got a new (dog) coat, and today he wears it with his new snowman hat. It has holes for the ears, and flaps that go over them. There are a few adjustment problems as it falls over his eyes sometimes or goes sideways, but he does not care. He is just happy to be walking outside. This is the first time he has been in the snow since he moved in with me. I do not know if he experienced any in his previous life. He was definitely an indoor cat, so I doubt it. So, let us get on with the show.

Deer problem continued (2)

This post is about Scooby and the deer again.

He would pee in the house. He would not eat or sleep, until about 7 pm when he was tired out. Then he ate and fell asleep on the rug. Earlier, after reading some comments, I sprayed Feliway, which I forgot I had, all over the house. I tried using it before to calm him but it had little effect. I will try again today.

First snow

Cats
catio, cats, Marigold, Opie, snow, weather news, Zeke

Today we had the first snow this season. According to the weather news, it was the earliest snow in four years. I like snow. The bad news was that it was a very little amount–no more than 1/2 inch or maybe 15 millimeters. It does not snow here much or very often. It is usually too warm and there is much rain instead. I let the cats have a look out in the catio. Opie was not interested.
