Now that spring has sprung and winter weather is (hopefully) history, this seemed like a good time to compare — and contrast — cats and snow.

They are both liquid — however, a big cat in a small box is a lot more appealing than a pile of slush.

Cats and freshly fallen snow have serene beauty.

Every flake is unique and so are cats.

Snow and cats inspire us to either run outside and play or curl up someplace warm.

Unlike snow, cats improve with age.

The chill of a snowstorm doesn’t come close to the icy stare of a cat that wants food NOW.

Snow goes away but cat hair on the couch is forever.
