alas, snow and rain are perfect defenses against cats. I do not fear our naughty grey and white kitty darting out the door when snow resides upon the ground. Also, my fluffy black cat at my parents' house loved to sneak out when the dog was let out. She always found it most inconveinent when snow layed upon the steps. Like someone was playing a cruel trick upon her. Most often my dad just closed the door and laughed at her.
