Zip’s favorite thing is running through the snow when it’s snowing. He finds all kinds of rodents sneaking along under the snow cover. He also rolls around on his back and paws at the snow. Every day at noon, no matter the weather, Zip hops onto the wicker chair on the porch and sleeps.  He rarely rests, but when he does, he seems to mean it.

Maria says he’s a snowcat; that seems right. After an hour or two of napping, he disappears again to visit his growing list of farm animal friends.
