The Tortoise Cat takes her Big One for a territorial stroll and bug hunt.
Tortoise Cat's backyard snow cage
Tortoise Cat: Chameleon, what can I do to keep my feet warm when I venture out into my backyard snow-cage?
Chameleon: You could allow the Big One to put mini-socks onto your feet.
Tortoise Cat: EYOW. Maybe I will simply go in and out more often. How do the critters that visit at night endure it, when it is much colder?
Chameleon: Critters are used to getting used to current conditions. Count your warmer blessings, Tortoise Cat!
Tortoise Cat: Also, I am happy I can go outside without a string tied to the Big One!
Chameleon: Who has visited us?
Tortoise Cat: Youngest Rabbit, fleeing Oldest Owl, and the Big Other Cat who lives one block westward.
Chameleon: How did you know about Owl's visit?
Tortoise Cat: It was in that p-mail I found over there.
Chameleon: OK, then, Tortoise Cat. Now, let us return to indoor cosiness and fire up some candles to reheat my old, cold dragon-blood.
