Lord Dudley Mountcatten likes to look out the back door and that hasn’t been possible with the plastic barrier in place.
.

.
His Lordship was not pleased.
Just after it was erected, the old door was removed…
.

.
So of course, it snowed.
.

.
We haven’t had snow all winter… but let our contractor start working and bam. White stuff.
.

.
The rotted sub floor and framing was replaced and as work continued with a giant hole in the living room …
.

.
Lord Dudley plotted.
.

.
I guarded against it and tried to keep a close eye on him, but naturally the little devil found a weak spot and made a run for it.
Thankfully His Lordship is not a fan of snow and after a few cursory steps that resulted in wet feet… he just sat on the doorstep and watched birds.
After hustling him back inside?
.

.
He decided a warm sunny spot was more to his liking.
And at least someone was using the treadmill.
😉
.
“Warm and sunny” is a winning combo for His Lordship, who clearly illustrates the importance of working out…or not.💤

As far as His Lordship is concerned, that’s not a treadmill — it’s a bedmill. You should get him a bedpill-ow to go with it.

His Lordship is entitled to go on a research mission to see what the snow is like after all. He’s only doing his job, lol. Cats are crazy and will do anything to try and get away with what they shouldn’t be doing.

We’ve taken him out for walks in the snow before. He’s not a fan…

Why don’t you get him some snowshoes? He could pretend he was a duck!

What a perfect alternate use for a treadmill. Hopefully, you’ve now got a door installed. Still thinking about that picture from yesterday of the guy in his altogether. Brrr….

The hole is filled and Lord Dudley is safe.
As for the scalloper, yes. And they drag in the winter..

Snow and cold will do that.

I’d call the timing of the snow fortuitous if it prevented the Dudmeister from wandering away.
