Now that's funny. For some reason, that reminds me of when we lived in Iowa, and cats (not ours, thank goodness) would get frozen to the sidewalk. Apparently they'd lay down to nap on a sunny, icy sidewalk and their body heat would melt the ice under them. But then the moisture on the fringes of their fur would re-freeze and they'd be stuck like that.
The first time one of our Alabama-born cats saw snow in Iowa was funny, too. He looked like a gazelle as he tried to walk without touching the snow. After that, he couldn't wait to get back out into it.
