The Slippery Ice
A Thin Skin of Ice
Hattie found a problem with the cat’s outdoor water supply, which she initially solved by hitting the glassy surface with her fist…
A Solid Block of Ice
But the next morning it was frozen absolutely solid, immune to Hitty blows.….

A Hand Up
So she and Constance decided to try skating.

A Little Unsteady
It was fun standing on the cat’s dish of water, but they wanted to whoosh and twirl…
.

Whoops-a-daisy
So they took Min to a nearby very shallow and well-frozen Puddle to enjoy slipping and sliding about.

The Cat thinks Marshmallows are OTT
After which they warmed themselves with mugs of cocoa. The cat considers Hot Chocolate a good alternative to frozen water, but is skeptical about the marshmallows.

It looks as if the Hittys are making the most of the cold weather and having a lot of fun. I agree completely that marshmallows are OTT – my kind of cat I expect.
They have enjoyed the cold snap, but the humans and hummingbirds are glad the weather is warming up a smidge.
Goodness this might be the cutest story line yet. I loved them standing atop the frozen water dish wishing to
skate!! And then the puddle!! Made me remember my siblings and I slipping and sliding and pretending to skate
on our frozen pond. In our rubber boots!! Great pictures. Love those little girls.
They do have fun – glad they made you smile!
