Two winter cat events, too

mmegaera1) I took Ivan and Teddy out on Tuesday into the 2 inches of crusty snow that had fallen overnight. It was their very first experience with snow. Apparently Teddy likes water in either form, liquid or frozen, but Ivan wasn't quite so enthusiastic, even if he didn't let the fact that the ground/crust kept sinking under his paws stop him from exploring. There was a lot of paw-shaking going on by both of them, though. Oh, and Teddy batted at a mint stem and was most offended at the faceful of snow he got as a result.
2) Teddy is enthralled with wolves, and bears, and trumpeter swans, and foxes, and otters...
PBS's show Nature was rerunning its Christmas in Yellowstone program last night, and as it's one of my favorites, I tuned it in. Ivan watched intently from my lap, but Teddy jumped down and spent a large portion of the hour on his hind legs with his front paws on the TV armoire (which tells you how big he's gotten -- the tv's about two feet off the floor), watching the critters with, I'm pretty sure, every intent of taking down one of those bison, or maybe an elk [g]. I think it was the sounds that originally caught their attention, but that was all it took.
