Lucius is really excited tonight because it is Halloween. Every couple minutes children ring the bell to collect candy in all sorts of cute outfits. Every span of time in between he races from one end of the house to the other and back--full of the energy from seeing faces at the door and children ringing the bell.
When young people arrive, he comes to the door. Inevitably, they make a chorus, "Ah, what a cute kitty. I would like a kitty like that."
The next boy says, "I want a kitty like that!"
His girl companion says, "Aren't you allergic to cats?"
Then, they go away, murmuring about our little Halloween Hit. It is not like he does not turn on the charm. On cue, when they mention him (he must know the word kitty) he acts cute. Halloween is always a fun time. Seeing children in all manner of outfits is a pick-me-up for anyone.
It snowed. Something about Calgary as long as I have known it, it snows for Halloween. Today, a bit of it melted, but I think we are just lucky this year. As a child, I walked through miserable cold and snow drifts to collect candy.
Today, since it snowed, we let Lucius go out into the snow on the deck. He loved it. He went for 3-5 minutes at a time with indoor warm up breaks where we held his ears and paws to get them room temperature. He loves snow. I do wish I had little cat parkas so Lucius and Martius could go on the deck a bit more in this cold weather. Neither has thick fur. However, Lucius has just started having adult fur on the center line of his back.
Today has been an exciting day: snow and Halloween for Lightning Paws Lucius.
