Vintage Photo: Snow Cat, 1996
Kublai is giving me instructions on how to be a better snow shoveler.
Even though Kublai wasn’t well that winter, nothing dulled his love for snow, and it was also the first time I discovered how a little supervised sojourn to the back yard could perk up a kitty’s appetite and attitude. He was my first garden cat and visited the yard in summer as well. That winter was snowy and each day I went out to fill the bird feeders before I went to work. I thought I’d actually taken some photos of him plowing his way through deep snow and I may find them eventually, but these two were taken the same day as one of the photos from the article “Friends at the End”. Below he runs through the maze of paths around the yard that go from one feeder to another.
Photos From the Archives are digital photos taken before I began blogging, and Vintage Photos are from my film archives back to 1983 when I purchased my Pentax K-1000 camera.

Feline Photography from Portraits of Animals!
It seems I’ve always had a garden kitty, and often that was a black kitty. Mimi is the most recent and of course I photograph her out there nearly every day. Read more and order this photo and browse other feline photos on Portraits of Animals.
