First Outdoor Experience with Icy Icewater

My long-haired cat ran excited -not hindered by the refrigerant temperature- outside, to the mortar tub loaded with rainwater, which is the tastiest water, because it is alife. Since this is for him the first winter that he can go outdoors, after 7 years of being a purebred indoorkat, he has much to learn. He has discovered that he is a cat: he has been behind butterflies and has chased frogs through dense ivy plants. Recently he can climb, light as a feather, he runs into a two meter high wall. Now he dashes to the mixing container to find out there is no water in. He checked it twice (unfortunately I didn't have the camera in my hand)

I decided to help him and enter the garden warmly wrapped. I call him, he shows no interest. I break the ice, but still he shows no interest at all. He looks for a while with a look that seems to say "I've already seen it, the water is gone". I decide to catch his interest and let the water splash, I play a bit with a stick in the water and it splashes on the ground. He recognizes that immediately. That is such a nice character of water, it is not only drinkable, but you can also play with it, by splashing, trying to catch it and running through puddles.

So he comes. Somewhat incredulous he doesn't show to be interested, but he can not resist to investigate the splashes and than it appears to be water, so he stands with his front paws on the edge of the mixing container and tries to catch an ice floe ... haha ... if that does not work, he chooses to drink, it is lovely to drink water with long strokes ... what is it good: icy water!
