WINTER: The five stages of grief…
Stage 1: DENIAL
AMARULA: I wonder why the human was acting so odd when she let me outside this morning…hey, what is this strange white stuff that seems to be everywhere?
AMARULA: I wonder where all the birds are? Well, I’ll just wait by the bird feeder and terrorize them as they fly by like I always do…if I could just get this white stuff off of my paws…
Stage 2: ANGER
AMARULA: SNOW! Noooooooooooooooooooo! How could you do this to me again Mother Nature! Curses!
Stage 3: BARGAINING
AMARULA: If winter would just go away, I promise I would be nice to Zulu and Frodo.
Stage 4: DEPRESSION
AMARULA: I can never escape winter! I might as well bite down on this electrical cord and end it all now!
Stage 5: ACCEPTANCE
AMARULA: It really is everywhere isn’t it?
AMARULA: I’m outta here! Let me inside!
Here are Amarula’s Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!
- Snow is the ENEMY
- I is my favorite word in the universe! I like to think that I put the I in tortIe!
- One holiday memory that I cherish is when I managed to hack up a hairball right under the Christmas tree! Is there any better gift to show the human just what I think of the holidays and her festive spirit???
- I always thought that Santa is clearly a dog person. Why else would he LEAVE presents instead of TAKE them? Clearly a dog lover; no self-respecting cat person would ever do such a crazy thing.
Oh, my…we don’t agree on snow, gifts, hairballs, or Santa. It’s okay, though. I love you anyway. Hugs!
Love this and love your answers. Too cute. I linked you to Feline Friday as always.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your mom. ♥
Oh Amarula! You and I think alike about snow!
A neve é tão bonita, mas acho que é melhor apreciar de dentro de casa. Certo Amarula?
Cafunés!
Poor Amarula! Snow.. ick.
When there is snow, Amarula, you’ll enjoy summer better.
Frimousse was not like you. He just LOVED winter and snow. Tigri was more like you.
As far as RouXy was concerned, snow and cold was bad for his stump – severed leg.
I hate winter too! The other day, I ran outside and turned right back around … my tail almost froze off! Momma’s all uppity … I think SHE set the thermostat outside just to mess with me. No white stuff yet … but after the traumatic incident my first winter … NO THANK YOU! ~Bear Cat
Amarula, you’re very brave to venture out into the snow. No way would any of us do that.
Oh Amarula, please don’t chew on the electrical cord and deprive us, your global fans,, of your torteous beauty ! And one good thing about winter, apparently, is that your warning collar is off, since the birds are all gone !
Thank you for participating Amarula. I like that quote, you put the I in tortie 🙂 Sorry about the snow 🙁 Sammy hacked up a hairball on the tree skirt a few days ago. Have a nice weekend! XO
Ha ha ha ha! We especially loved your first fill-in too!
LOL Amarula, I’m glad you reached acceptance stage before chewing down that cord! 🙂 And don’t worry, eventually birds will be back for you to terrorize them! Great answers for the fill-in. I agree, Santa must be a dog person 🙂
Hello Amarula,
I’m happy that you decided to go back inside before chewing anything dangerous.
Snow is a cold annoying thing.
I like your “answer #4” …

I’m with you about snow, Amarula, but I never reached the acceptance stage. Purrs, Pixie
Hibernation may be a good idea, Amarula.
YIKES! I’ve never been out in the snow and I’m quite alright with that!
You crack me up, Amarula! We love snow!!! Please step away from the electrical cord…
On Amarula, we don’t like snow either. Big hugs
Luv ya’
