“How does Hoover react to snowballs? I bet he just goes bonkers.”
About the same way he reacts to a stick:
He also likes tennis balls, 2L Coke bottles and anything else even remotely throwable (kids’ toys…anything). Including cats:
Believe it or not, Digit & Hoover are buddies and this is actually how they play (although when they were outside, Digit was so not in the mood to play haha). One day I’ll try to get video of Digit torturing Hoover, but he’s pretty stealth about it, as cats tend to be. Usually he’ll just jump on the dog while he’s sleeping and start chewing on his ears, like he’ll wrap his paws around Hoover’s head and just beat the piss out of him. Pixel usually just stays out of the way.
Anyway, trying to get the cats to like “outside” isn’t going so well, as you can see, but I figure in the spring when I’m outside in the garden, they’ll probably come out with me and end up quite liking this “outside” business. (Especially since I plan on the strategic placement of catnip in various parts of our yard. :))
After that video was taken and we came inside, both cats were sitting on my chair cleaning themselves and getting it all wet, which I suppose I deserved. :D

Unlike dogs, most cats aren’t into snow a whole lot: Every photograph and video I’ve seen of cats in snow has radiated an “I want to be indoors” theme. I’m sure there are exceptions, just as there are some cats who love swimming!
Hoover is obviously a good-hearted guy who only wants to play; and he probably doesn’t understand why the cats aren’t thrilled, too. Thanks for sharing this episode of Adventures In Sunnyland!
