✨ I hope everyone is having an awesome holidays! Has your cat, dog, or pet ever experienced snow or the outdoors? How did they react? Let us know in the comments!
You captured it all!! Leo’s curiosity as he looked around, his nervousness with those little meows, his caution as he stayed low to the ground, the excitement in his wide open eyes while exploring and even his reaction to the cold he’s not used to yet! Lol. AMAZING team effort from the family! :)
Thank you so much! You described Leo’s reactions perfectly-it was such a mix of curiosity, caution, and those adorable little meows! Lol. We’re so glad we could capture his first snow adventure and it really was an amazing team effort from everyone. =)
Thank you! We’re all so proud of Leo and love supporting him in new adventures. I think by the end of the winter season, he’ll start feeling more comfortable. He’s already explored the backyard on his own by sneaking out a few times during the summertime. The screen door was slightly open and he opened it up with his paws. We didn’t realize it until later. lol He was good, though and stayed close to the door without venturing far.
Leo did wonderful for his first time in the snow! With his Siberian genes, he’s more suited to handle the cold than most other breeds and he just building up his confidence. The family around him helped speed up the process. Great to see! ;)
Thank you! Leo really did so well for his first snowy adventure! His Siberian genes definitely give him an edge in the cold and having the family support really boosted his confidence. So glad you enjoyed it! =)
Aww, so magical seeing Leos first time snow experience. 😻 At first, he was meowing nervously, unsure of what was happening but his curiosity quickly took over and each step filled with wonder.💕
When Leo was at the side of the house, he was probably a bit cold and nervous as mentioned. I had my Siberian, Noni for 17 years and he passed away 2 1/2 years ago. I miss him dearly. ❤The first time he went in the snow, he was just like Leo. It took Noni about 5-6 tries before he got quite comfortable with it. I’m a new subbie here and looking forward to following your channel. Thanks for sharing this wonderful and adorable moment with us! 😃💖
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt memory of Noni. ❤ 17 years is such an incredible bond and I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s amazing how similar his first snow experience was to Leo’s! We're so happy to have you here and looking forward to sharing more of Leo’s adventures with you. 😃💖
Really cute video! I love how you were all there to support Leo. The way he sniffed around, meowed, and then decided he was done was hilarious. Thank you for sharing this! 💕🐈🐾
Even though very cautious and scared first time Leo did a fine job. The way he goes from the front door to the side of the house and into the backyard. He’s mapping out his territory like a pro!
Thank you! He really did handle it well for his first time even with all the caution and nerves. It’s so interesting to see how he naturally maps things out-going from the front door to the side and then the backyard, just like a little explorer!
Thank you so much! It really was a team effort to help Leo feel comfortable with his first snow. We’re so happy you enjoyed watching-it means a lot to us! =)
Nice seeing Leos 1st snow experience. Those cautious little steps are so instinctive! Also, staying low to the ground when exploring unfamiliar territory and instinctively to avoid predators. Good job carefully navigating pass the snow and meowing when ready to go back inside. Such a brave little explorer! :)
This is exactly what I expect from a Siberian cat!! Brave boy, great work! I love how low you stayed to the ground, staying aware of your surroundings and being cautious! That's some serious animal instinct at work. Instinctively staying stealthy and observing everything around you. Siberians are made for the cold and you can really see that in Leo's confidence and curiosity in the snow. Keep it up, Leo, you're a natural explorer!
Thank you! Leo definitely showed his Siberian instincts, staying low and cautious while taking it all in. It’s amazing how their nature shines through, even as indoor cats! While he was curious, I think the cold was a bit of a shock for him in the beginning but he handled it like a pro. We’ll let him know he’s got a fan cheering him on in his exploration journey! =)
I remember the first snow my cat experienced. He was wary of everything. I went outside to the backyard porch and he followed me. He stayed for about 30 seconds, then ran back inside, meowing. This process repeated a few times, as he would then return to the door wanting to go out again. This continued for about 3-4 weeks until I think he finally decided that he didn’t mind going outside to the backyard playing in the snow.
He did better than every cat that lived with my family over the years. Our cats would hit the snow and stop. Followed by a look of absolute terror and loud YEOWWING to come rescue me. lol
My sister adopted a 1 year old Siberian through a friend. I visited her for a few months at the beginning of 2024 after my retirement and I had the chance to watch Max experience his first snow day. He was just like Leo, staying outside for only a short time at first. By end of the winter, he was perfectly fine with the snow and cold. Siberians are naturally built for it with their triple-layer coat and fur-covered paws. In time, he will adjust to his surroundings and environment. Great work by everyone and well done, Leo!
Leo did exceptional! My Simba is almost 1.5 yrs old now. Hes finally adjusting to the snow but it took a good 9-10 outings! So much for him being Siberian lol
A few yrs ago I picked up pet boots for my cats. They love going outside but where I live, there’s a lot of snow during the winter. In the colder mths they wouldn’t go out due to the snow, so I decided to buy pet boots. Surprisingly, 2 out of my 3 cats actually use them! They’re not for all cats but I thought I’d share this in case anyone is interested. Leo did an amazing job and being Siberian, he’ll eventually get used to the cold and snow in no time!;)
That’s such a great idea! It’s awesome that 2 out of your 3 cats actually use the pet boots-what a clever way to help them enjoy the outdoors during winter. =) Thanks for sharing! Leo’s already off to a great start and we’re excited to see how he grows more comfortable with the snow. =)
I've seen this awhile back and was thinking about trying something similar for my cat, but I wasn’t sure if they’d tolerate it. Appreciate it and will look into it further!
Cats were originally desert animals, so I’d assume most don’t like the cold and prefer basking in sunny weather...just like me, lol! 🥰 But from what I’ve heard about Siberian cats through friends who own them, they’re well-adapted to colder climates and don’t mind it. 😻 Such a wonderful video with Leo and the family! ❤
My cat had a somewhat similar reaction but didn’t last a minute! She went out with the same posture and behavior but as soon as she encountered the snow, she dashed back to the door. Lol
Thank you! It really was a magical moment watching Leo experience snow for the first time. His curiosity and cautious steps made it so special for all of us! =)
Absolutely! Leo’s instincts kicked in right away-hiding behind the shovel was such a smart move for him to feel safe while checking out the outdoors. =) He’s definitely cautious but curious at the same time! Thanks for noticing and watching his little adventure!
We often get a lot of snow here in New York. Leo, your twin, frequently visits us, and he's a natural in the snow. We plan to adopt him soon after he stops by again so we can take him to the vet. My dog and I are really looking forward to him joining us. :) By the way, you did an amazing job for your very first time in the snow! Keep up the great work and before you know it, you'll be enjoying the winter seasons! ;)
The oldest son Aaron was trying to give Leo some extra time to soak it all in, but Leo definitely had other plans with those meows! lol Maybe next time Leo will stay out a little longer… or maybe not! Thanks for the laugh ! =)
Thank you so much! We really wanted Leo to feel loved and safe during his first snowy adventure. It’s amazing how much he trusts us and seeing him explore with a bit of our support was so special.=)
My 4 year old siberian cat Ivan got use to the cold eventually. Im in Park City, Utah and it can get quite cold compared to warm/sunny California where he lived the first 2 years! Hes now constantly playing in the snow and enjoying it. At first he reacted the same as Leo being cautious. Nicely done Leo.
Thank you for sharing about Ivan! It’s amazing how adaptable Siberians or in general cats can be. Sounds like he’s become a true snow pro after moving to Utah-what a fun transition from sunny California! Leo’s taking those cautious first steps, but maybe one day he’ll enjoy the snow as much as Ivan. =)
Bravo, Leo! You did exceptionally well on your first snowy adventure! It’s so good to see how you handled it with such curiosity and courage, even with the cold and all the new surroundings.❤👏
Thank you! We thought his careful steps and meows were so sweet too. We made sure to respect his boundaries and let him head back inside whenever he felt ready.
Looks like the Siberian HQ has been slacking on sending out those snow-loving memos lately! 🤣 My two were the same a few years back. Total confusion in the snow! Now, they’re pros and strutting around in freezing weather like it’s a tropical vacation. ☀♥
Thank you! We plan to in the future and he does seem to like the outdoors alot. Leo loves the summer time and hes gone out into the yard on his own a few times sneaking out. lol =)
You can see Leo unsure but still exploring. What a brave little guy! Nice teamwork with everyone helping out! Our family did the same thing with our cat Jonesy and it helped him transition being outdoors now. Hes in and out of the yard every so often. Enjoyed watching this.👍
Thank you so much! Leo really is a little braveheart, and having the whole family there definitely helped him feel more comfortable. That’s awesome to hear about Jonesy-sounds like he’s mastered the indoor-outdoor balance! So glad you enjoyed watching Leo’s first snowy adventure. =)
Leo will feel comfortable in no time and great job! My two cats are both indoor and outdoor cats. They come and go as they please and have even trained us to open the windows for them when they want back in. You can’t say no to them or they’ll just stare and meow loudly until you give in! They could run away anytime but they always stay close, rarely venturing beyond the yard or fence. Even with Michigan’s weather (rain, snow, or sunshine all year round) they’re perfectly content staying nearby. :D
You did exceptionally well Leo first time. Yes, my cat’s first time in the snow was hilarious! She didn’t know what to make of it and kept hopping around like a bunny! We went back in after 10 mins. Two years has passed and she is comfortable outdoors but prefers to stay inside mostly.
Thank you! It’s so funny to see how cats react to snow for the first time! Hopping like a bunny sounds adorable! Leo was curious but cautious, and we made sure he could head back in whenever he wanted. Sounds like your cat found her balance with the outdoors. Leo went out on his own twice during the summer when the screen door was left open a little. He was in no rush going back inside but he didn’t go far.
Leo so smart and exploring the perimeter of the house. Also being very alert and staying low to not be seen from predators! So brave on 1st day and amazing support from the family! Love this!!❤️😻
Thank you so much! Leo really is such a smart and cautious little explorer-it’s incredible to see his instincts in action. We’re so proud of how brave he was on his first snowy adventure and having the whole family there definitely made it extra special for him.=)
Haha, Tsunami sounds like such a character! Oh my, four feet of snow must’ve been quite the shock-no wonder she gave you the stink eye! Thanks for sharing your story. =)
Thank you so much! We feel so lucky to have Leo. He’s such a sweet and curious little guy. You’re absolutely right and he seemed to enjoy the adventure but was definitely cautious. Maybe he will be able to roll around in the snow like Abbi one day! =)
@@SiberianCatLeo Smart boy not to fancy free, he will get used to it for sure and thank you, Abbi loves the snow, Leo is furry enough I am sure it's nice for him, enjoy your adventure with your sweet sweet boy and give him all the love!
@@Iconoplastt Leo is cautious but so curious about everything! I’m confident that, in time, he’s the type who will enjoy the snow. He loves exploring and there were a couple of times when he snuck out into the yard through a slightly open screen door in summer time-something we didn’t realize until later! 😅 I’ll be sure to give him extra love from you. Thank you!
Siberian cats like Leo are amazing. They're naturally built for the cold with their thick fur coats and paws covered in fur! It’s so cool to see Leos instincts kicking in as he starts exploring. He’s off to a great start for his 1st time!
Thank you! Siberian cats really are incredible with their thick coats and furry paws-they’re so well-suited for the cold! It was amazing to see Leo’s instincts kicking in as he explored. He did such a great job for his first time! =)
Aww, so cute seeing Leo go in the house and then go downstairs to reset himself. I would say Leo did extremely well for his first try! Incredible team effort from the whole family! 😍😻💗
Thank you so much! It’s so funny how Leo does his little reset routine-it’s one of his quirks that we love! We’re so proud of him for handling his first snow so well and it truly was a team effort from everyone. =)
Thank you! His little reset in the basement really does seem like his safety blanket. It’s amazing how pets have their own ways of finding comfort or to decompress. =)
I have a Siberian and they can handle cold better than most breeds. Their paws are covered with fur helping protect against frost and provides traction on icy surface.
@@janbarriault4494 Absolutely, Jan! It was definitely a surprise for him-like stepping into a whole new world. lol My 4 year old and I use to live in California and the last 2 years we now live in Park City, Utah. Siberians are naturally curious, though, so they often adapt quickly. Watching their cautious exploration is part of the fun! :)
Thank you Jan! It was definitely a interesting, fun, and chilly adventure for Leo, but we made sure to keep it short and cozy him up afterward. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season too! =)
Looks like it’s not his first time on a harness? He looks comfy. The snow experience could be strange for the first time but he’d be rolling on it before you know it.😂❤😊
Thanks Pearl and great observation! He’s been on the harness a couple of times indoors, so he’s getting used to it. The snow definitely threw him off a bit. I think he did really well and maybe a couple more times later he’ll be rolling around in it like a pro! lol =)
Wow, Leo is exploring outside!! He did better than I expected for his first time!! He seems like a natural out there and it’s in his Siberian DNA!! 😆 Thanks for sharing with us-I loved it! 🥰❤
Thank you. We were surprised at how well he did for his first time outside, too. You’re right-it must be that Siberian DNA kicking in! lol We’re so glad you enjoyed watching his little adventure.
Absolutely and thanks for sharing! Cats are such natural strategists. It was fascinating to watch Leo instinctively assess his surroundings and take those cautious steps. Their instincts are so impressive! =)
Amazing work Leo first time in snow!! You can see Leo’s face once he got back inside the house, trying to process everything after his outdoor adventure. 😆
Leo kinda says the heck with this Artic adventure as he darts back inside, get back to me when it's summer time he demurs. Leo didn't fall of the cat nip wagon yesterday ya' know...
Haha, exactly! Hes like, 'This Arctic adventure isn’t for me-call me when its warmer!' Leo loves the summertime and even managed to sneak out a few times. We found him chilling in the yard not too far from the screen door, enjoying the warm weather. =)
Totally agree what some have noticed and having the family around must have made Leo feel so much more confident to explore! ❤Love how supportive you all are. 🐾🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words! Having the whole family there definitely made a difference for Leo-it’s like he felt reassured knowing we were all there for him. We’re so glad you noticed and enjoyed his little adventure! =)
Aww, Leo is so adorable with his meows and his first-time reaction to the snow! His expressions, especially the ‘get me back inside’ look, are priceless. You did a superb job braving the snow for the first time, Leo!😊❣️
Thank you so much! His little meows and expressions were definitely the highlights of the adventure! We’re so proud of him for braving the snow-I think he did very well first time in the snow. =)
Thank you! Cats really are amazing strategists and it was so fun to see Leo’s instincts kick in. He’s always so curious and cautious-it’s fascinating to watch! =)
Fearless Leo, you did so well!! The tiny meows wanting to go back inside, but your curiosity kept you going! Lol, and the way you shook all the snow off yourself when you got back in! 😂🥰
Thank you! His little meows were cute. Funny thing he went out on his own twice during the summer when the screen door was left open a little. He was in no rush going back inside but he didn’t go far. The harness fit well on him and he didnt mind it!
Leo’s first few steps outside and in the snow looked like he was assessing whether it was safe. It’s fascinating to watch their instincts kick in! Well done Leo for your first time.
Thank you! Yes, its really is fascinating to see their instincts in action-Leo’s careful steps were like he was calculating every move. We’re so proud of how well he did for his first time in the snow! =)
Thank you! That meow at the door was so funny-it really did feel like he was saying, Alright, I’ve had enough, take me back inside! =) But a few secs later curiosity kicked in lol
Thank you so much! It really was a team effort to help Leo feel safe while exploring. His curiosity is so fun to watch, and having the whole family there definitely made a difference for him. =)
Aww, Leo is so alert and aware of his surroundings. And those meows wanting to first go back inside but did well exploring afterwards. Loved his fun adventure!🤗❤
Thank you so much! Leo really is such a smart and cautious little explorer. Those meows at the start were definitely his way of saying, 'I’m not so sure about this!' lol But he surprised us by staying out a bit longer and taking in all the new sights and smells. So glad you enjoyed his little adventure-it means a lot! =)
Leo’s cautious cat instincts kicking in but curious personality shines through so beautifully. It was great that the family was there with him on the walk around the house making it more easier for him. Good work everyone!
Thank you! Leo’s instincts definitely kicked in, but we’re so proud of his curiosity and bravery. Having the family there really helped him feel more confident. It’s always a team effort in our family. =)
Thank you so much! It really was a team effort, and we’re so happy it helped make Leo feel more comfortable during his little adventure. Moments like these are so special to share with him, and we’re glad you enjoyed watching it too! =)
Such a precious moment seeing him take those first steps outside! It’s amazing how instinctive he is, even staying low to the ground. Understandable being cautious and apprehensive in the beginning but Leo did very good and is a natural😻
Thank you so much! It really was a special moment seeing Leo take those first steps. His instincts were definitely in full swing, staying low and cautious, but we’re so proud of how well he did! He’s such a natural explorer. =)
Thank you! We really wanted Leo to feel safe and supported while experiencing his first snow. In the summertime, he actually went out on his own a few times when he managed to sneak through a slightly open screen door! He seems to really enjoy the outdoors when he gets the chance. Having us all there this time seemed to help him build up his confidence. We’re so proud of him, and thanks so much for watching!
The basement reset is interesting and it shows how pets find their own comfort zones. Leo did so well, and having family around him definitely helped. Amazing work, everyone! 🥰❤
Thank you! It’s amazing how pets find their own ways to feel safe, and Leo’s basement reset is such a unique little habit of his. Having the family there definitely made his snowy adventure smoother. So glad you liked the video! =)
Aww, those cute meows when he was first out the door. Also, your patience as a family helping him explore and little by little get comfortable on his 1st day. 😊❤️
Thank you so much! We really wanted to make sure Leo felt safe and supported, so taking it slow was important for his first snowy adventure. It means a lot that you noticed-we’re so proud of him for being so brave! =)
Years ago, it was my cat's first snowfall. I carried her outside and for about five minutes, she kept pawing at the snowflakes like she was trying to catch them. Her confused little face and meows were priceless!
Cats are so methodical in new situations and it’s like they’re little detectives. You can totally see Leo assessing his surroundings in the snow before deciding if it’s safe. Good work Leo.
Thank you! Cats really are like little detectives and it was fun to watch Leo carefully assess his surroundings in the snow before deciding what to do. He did such a great job! =)
Thanks for watching and we possibly might do a bit more in winter. Summer time he gets excited and hes sneaked out on his own into the yard a few times briefly. =)
The way he stops, stays low and looks around is so precious! You can see him processing everything and keep alert from other predators just like in the animal kingdom. Being cautious of the unknown outside. Such a smart boy! 😍
Thank you so much! It’s amazing to watch him navigate the outside world-he’s so cautious and instinctive, almost like he’s channeling his wild ancestors! You can really see his mind working and taking it all in while staying alert. He’s a smart and curious kitty and we’re so proud of him for being brave enough to explore! =)
Leo’s expressions are everything! You can tell he’s thinking, ok this cold stuff is weird but I’ll give it a try. lol Leo did very well and such a fun video! :)
Thank you so much! Leo’s expressions always crack me up. He definitely looked like he was trying to figure out what is this cold weird stuff. lol Glad you enjoyed the video! =)
Cutie Leo did an excellent job exploring outside in snow! 😄My Jenna had a hilarious reaction to snow and she walked two steps, shook her paws dramatically, and bolted back inside. 😂
Thank you so much! We’re excited to share more about Leo’s adoption journey soon. So glad you could relate to the snowy walk and thanks for sharing. =)
Thank you so much! We really wanted Leo to feel safe and supported during his first snowy adventure, and having the whole family there made it so special. =)
Been following Leos journey. Thank you for sharing this lovely exploration video of Leos first snow experience. 😄He did so well and my cat wouldnt dare go outside lol
Thank you so much for following Leo’s journey! It means a lot to us that you’re enjoying his little adventures. He really did so well for his first time in the snow, but I totally get it-some cats prefer the cozy indoors! Thanks for watching. =)
Leo's slow, careful steps and those little meows were so sweet to see. 😻You did an amazing job doing perimeter check and exploring Leo! A smart brave kitty! 🐾❄
Thank you! His little meows and cautious steps were so adorable-it’s like he was planning his every move! We’re so proud of Leo. Glad you enjoyed watching! =)
✨ I hope everyone is having an awesome holidays! Has your cat, dog, or pet ever experienced snow or the outdoors? How did they react? Let us know in the comments!
Great job Leo. You’ll be adventuring in no time! ❤☺️😺
Aww, nicely done Leo. A nice outing exploring with the family out in the cold and encountering snow! :)
You captured it all!! Leo’s curiosity as he looked around, his nervousness with those little meows, his caution as he stayed low to the ground, the excitement in his wide open eyes while exploring and even his reaction to the cold he’s not used to yet! Lol. AMAZING team effort from the family! :)

Nice to see such a loving supporting family surrounding Leo. I say Leo will be a pro by the end of the winter season!! ;)

If cats could talk, they’d be scientists. So curious, observant, and always exploring their world! 🐱🧪
My kittys would be running back inside in a split sec!! 😻Well done Leo and HNY everyone! 🎉
You're a natural, Leo! Loved seeing you in action and overcoming adversity! 😃🥰
He did better than every cat that lived with my family over the years. Our cats would hit the snow and stop. Followed by a look of absolute terror and loud YEOWWING to come rescue me. lol
Leo’s reaction is like he’s stepping onto another planet! 😂

Its always adorable seeing a cats first reaction to something. They may be fearful at first, or timid and curious at the same time. Love this😻

Maybe Leo is starting to realize why hes born with the fur all over his body!! lol 🤣😻
I live in Alberta Canada. My cats love the snow 😄
Leo’s reaction: Why is the ground so cold? What is this cold white stuff? lol 😂 Love it and you did such a great job exploring, Leo! 🥰❤
Cats were originally desert animals, so I’d assume most don’t like the cold and prefer basking in sunny weather...just like me, lol! 🥰 But from what I’ve heard about Siberian cats through friends who own them, they’re well-adapted to colder climates and don’t mind it. 😻 Such a wonderful video with Leo and the family! ❤
My cat had a somewhat similar reaction but didn’t last a minute! She went out with the same posture and behavior but as soon as she encountered the snow, she dashed back to the door. Lol
The climbing cat is so adorable! It must be magical for him to see snow for the first time in this winter season. Such a joyful moment!
Thank you! It really was a magical moment watching Leo experience snow for the first time. His curiosity and cautious steps made it so special for all of us! =)
Leo has the most amazing family! Watching your wife carry him to the backyard made me smile, what a team effort to make him feel safe!❤
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that. It really was a team effort to help him feel safe during his first snow adventure. =)
1:15 Smart Leo, making sure he is safe in his new environment outdoor 😄👍
Absolutely! Leo’s instincts kicked in right away-hiding behind the shovel was such a smart move for him to feel safe while checking out the outdoors. =) He’s definitely cautious but curious at the same time! Thanks for noticing and watching his little adventure!
We often get a lot of snow here in New York. Leo, your twin, frequently visits us, and he's a natural in the snow. We plan to adopt him soon after he stops by again so we can take him to the vet. My dog and I are really looking forward to him joining us. :) By the way, you did an amazing job for your very first time in the snow! Keep up the great work and before you know it, you'll be enjoying the winter seasons! ;)
1:29 omg, wait 10 mins and then Leo can go lol 😂
I almost spit out my tea when I heard that! 😂
The oldest son Aaron was trying to give Leo some extra time to soak it all in, but Leo definitely had other plans with those meows! lol Maybe next time Leo will stay out a little longer… or maybe not! Thanks for the laugh ! =)
I think Leo didn’t get the memo about Siberians loving snow! lol
Seems like Siberian HQ forgot to send the snow memo! 🤣 Mine were clueless at first too but now they treat freezing weather like a beach day!
😀
Watching the family cheer Leo on made this even more special. 💖😻
Thank you! It really was a team effort cheering Leo on. Having the family there definitely made Leo’s first snow adventure even more memorable. =)
The way the family supported Leo during his first snow day is just beautiful. He must feel so loved!💞♥
Thank you so much! We really wanted Leo to feel loved and safe during his first snowy adventure. It’s amazing how much he trusts us and seeing him explore with a bit of our support was so special.=)
My 4 year old siberian cat Ivan got use to the cold eventually. Im in Park City, Utah and it can get quite cold compared to warm/sunny California where he lived the first 2 years! Hes now constantly playing in the snow and enjoying it. At first he reacted the same as Leo being cautious. Nicely done Leo.
Thank you for sharing about Ivan! It’s amazing how adaptable Siberians or in general cats can be. Sounds like he’s become a true snow pro after moving to Utah-what a fun transition from sunny California! Leo’s taking those cautious first steps, but maybe one day he’ll enjoy the snow as much as Ivan. =)
@@SiberianCatLeo Siberians and cats in general are adaptable to their environment. Leo will enjoy the snow and outdoors in no time.
Those little meows at the door melted my heart! He’s such a smart and cautious kitty. Enjoyed watching his curiosity!😻💓
Thank you so much! His little meows always get us too. He’s definitely cautious but curious about everything new. Glad you enjoyed watching him!
beautiful kitteh~~
Bravo, Leo! You did exceptionally well on your first snowy adventure! It’s so good to see how you handled it with such curiosity and courage, even with the cold and all the new surroundings.❤👏
The cautious meows and slow steps are adorable. Leo’s reaction is priceless! 🥰
Thank you! We thought his careful steps and meows were so sweet too. We made sure to respect his boundaries and let him head back inside whenever he felt ready.
Looks like the Siberian HQ has been slacking on sending out those snow-loving memos lately! 🤣 My two were the same a few years back. Total confusion in the snow! Now, they’re pros and strutting around in freezing weather like it’s a tropical vacation. ☀♥
Loving family 🥰 Very brave Leo😻 Hope see more of Leo in winter/spring/summer time😀
Thank you! We plan to in the future and he does seem to like the outdoors alot. Leo loves the summer time and hes gone out into the yard on his own a few times sneaking out. lol =)
Team Leo here and cheering you on! Amazing for your first time in the snow. :)
You can see Leo unsure but still exploring. What a brave little guy! Nice teamwork with everyone helping out! Our family did the same thing with our cat Jonesy and it helped him transition being outdoors now. Hes in and out of the yard every so often. Enjoyed watching this.👍
Thank you so much! Leo really is a little braveheart, and having the whole family there definitely helped him feel more comfortable. That’s awesome to hear about Jonesy-sounds like he’s mastered the indoor-outdoor balance! So glad you enjoyed watching Leo’s first snowy adventure. =)
Leo will feel comfortable in no time and great job! My two cats are both indoor and outdoor cats. They come and go as they please and have even trained us to open the windows for them when they want back in. You can’t say no to them or they’ll just stare and meow loudly until you give in! They could run away anytime but they always stay close, rarely venturing beyond the yard or fence. Even with Michigan’s weather (rain, snow, or sunshine all year round) they’re perfectly content staying nearby. :D
Your cat looks exactly like our cat name's doremon
You did exceptionally well Leo first time. Yes, my cat’s first time in the snow was hilarious! She didn’t know what to make of it and kept hopping around like a bunny! We went back in after 10 mins. Two years has passed and she is comfortable outdoors but prefers to stay inside mostly.
Thank you! It’s so funny to see how cats react to snow for the first time! Hopping like a bunny sounds adorable! Leo was curious but cautious, and we made sure he could head back in whenever he wanted. Sounds like your cat found her balance with the outdoors. Leo went out on his own twice during the summer when the screen door was left open a little. He was in no rush going back inside but he didn’t go far.
Leo so smart and exploring the perimeter of the house. Also being very alert and staying low to not be seen from predators! So brave on 1st day and amazing support from the family! Love this!!❤️😻
Thank you so much! Leo really is such a smart and cautious little explorer-it’s incredible to see his instincts in action. We’re so proud of how brave he was on his first snowy adventure and having the whole family there definitely made it extra special for him.=)
I remember one of our cats stepping into the snow for the first time. The cat was like, Nope, not going to happen!
My cat, Tsunami, went outside and faced four feet of snow..she jumped into it and disappeared..came flying out and gave me the stink eye. 🇨🇦
Haha, Tsunami sounds like such a character! Oh my, four feet of snow must’ve been quite the shock-no wonder she gave you the stink eye! Thanks for sharing your story. =)
Good boy, Leo is such a cute boy and sooo soo adventurous and loving you guys are lucky, I think he liked it but was a bit apprehensive at times!
Thank you so much! We feel so lucky to have Leo. He’s such a sweet and curious little guy. You’re absolutely right and he seemed to enjoy the adventure but was definitely cautious. Maybe he will be able to roll around in the snow like Abbi one day! =)
@@SiberianCatLeo Smart boy not to fancy free, he will get used to it for sure and thank you, Abbi loves the snow, Leo is furry enough I am sure it's nice for him, enjoy your adventure with your sweet sweet boy and give him all the love!
@@Iconoplastt Leo is cautious but so curious about everything! I’m confident that, in time, he’s the type who will enjoy the snow. He loves exploring and there were a couple of times when he snuck out into the yard through a slightly open screen door in summer time-something we didn’t realize until later! 😅 I’ll be sure to give him extra love from you. Thank you!
@@SiberianCatLeo What sneky boy, glad he loves his family and is sooo chill... thank you give him that extra love from me, love hearing about him!
Thank you for bringing us along with you Leo ;)
Leo, you did wonderful for your first time. Well done! 👍
Siberian cats like Leo are amazing. They're naturally built for the cold with their thick fur coats and paws covered in fur! It’s so cool to see Leos instincts kicking in as he starts exploring. He’s off to a great start for his 1st time!
Thank you! Siberian cats really are incredible with their thick coats and furry paws-they’re so well-suited for the cold! It was amazing to see Leo’s instincts kicking in as he explored. He did such a great job for his first time! =)
Aww, so cute seeing Leo go in the house and then go downstairs to reset himself. I would say Leo did extremely well for his first try! Incredible team effort from the whole family! 😍😻💗
Thank you so much! It’s so funny how Leo does his little reset routine-it’s one of his quirks that we love! We’re so proud of him for handling his first snow so well and it truly was a team effort from everyone. =)
Nicely done Leo! :) Good call and when Leo went to basement he was like resetting like in his comfort zone. Its like a safety blankie for him lol
Thank you! His little reset in the basement really does seem like his safety blanket. It’s amazing how pets have their own ways of finding comfort or to decompress. =)
beautiful cat and lovely first snow experience💓
poor guy, must be crazy cold for his paws!! hope you all had great holiday season!
I have a Siberian and they can handle cold better than most breeds. Their paws are covered with fur helping protect against frost and provides traction on icy surface.
@@william6617-p3u lol oh yes,, but it must be a bit of a surprise!
@@janbarriault4494 Absolutely, Jan! It was definitely a surprise for him-like stepping into a whole new world. lol My 4 year old and I use to live in California and the last 2 years we now live in Park City, Utah. Siberians are naturally curious, though, so they often adapt quickly. Watching their cautious exploration is part of the fun! :)
Thank you Jan! It was definitely a interesting, fun, and chilly adventure for Leo, but we made sure to keep it short and cozy him up afterward. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season too! =)
Leo on a leash is the cutest thing! Great job helping him feel comfortable while letting him explore.
Looks like it’s not his first time on a harness? He looks comfy. The snow experience could be strange for the first time but he’d be rolling on it before you know it.😂❤😊
Thanks Pearl and great observation! He’s been on the harness a couple of times indoors, so he’s getting used to it. The snow definitely threw him off a bit. I think he did really well and maybe a couple more times later he’ll be rolling around in it like a pro! lol =)
Aww, his cautious steps and curious sniffs are everything! Leo handled his first snow day like a pro.
Wow, Leo is exploring outside!! He did better than I expected for his first time!! He seems like a natural out there and it’s in his Siberian DNA!! 😆 Thanks for sharing with us-I loved it! 🥰❤
Thank you. We were surprised at how well he did for his first time outside, too. You’re right-it must be that Siberian DNA kicking in! lol We’re so glad you enjoyed watching his little adventure.
The first thing a cat does in a new place is threat assessment and walking the perimeter.
Absolutely and thanks for sharing! Cats are such natural strategists. It was fascinating to watch Leo instinctively assess his surroundings and take those cautious steps. Their instincts are so impressive! =)
Amazing work Leo first time in snow!! You can see Leo’s face once he got back inside the house, trying to process everything after his outdoor adventure. 😆
His tiny meows made this video so special! It’s like he was debating with himself whether to continue or go back in! 😂❤️
Leo kinda says the heck with this Artic adventure as he darts back inside, get back to me when it's summer time he demurs. Leo didn't fall of the cat nip wagon yesterday ya' know...
Haha, exactly! Hes like, 'This Arctic adventure isn’t for me-call me when its warmer!' Leo loves the summertime and even managed to sneak out a few times. We found him chilling in the yard not too far from the screen door, enjoying the warm weather. =)
Totally agree what some have noticed and having the family around must have made Leo feel so much more confident to explore! ❤Love how supportive you all are. 🐾🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words! Having the whole family there definitely made a difference for Leo-it’s like he felt reassured knowing we were all there for him. We’re so glad you noticed and enjoyed his little adventure! =)
Leo the explorer, discovering his roots! Fine work, young boy. A siberian like you will feel comfortable outdoors in no time! ;)
This was heartwarming to watch. I wish it snowed where I live...sadly Arizona hardly EVER gets any snow in the area I live in.
Aww, Leo is so adorable with his meows and his first-time reaction to the snow! His expressions, especially the ‘get me back inside’ look, are priceless. You did a superb job braving the snow for the first time, Leo!😊❣️
Thank you so much! His little meows and expressions were definitely the highlights of the adventure! We’re so proud of him for braving the snow-I think he did very well first time in the snow. =)
Adorable seeing how everyone is helping Leo explore the snow. Such a beautiful family moment!😻💖
Thank you! It really was a special moment for all of us. =)
Cats are such natural little strategists. Leo’s instincts really came through during his first snowy adventure.❤
Thank you! Cats really are amazing strategists and it was so fun to see Leo’s instincts kick in. He’s always so curious and cautious-it’s fascinating to watch! =)
Fearless Leo, you did so well!! The tiny meows wanting to go back inside, but your curiosity kept you going! Lol, and the way you shook all the snow off yourself when you got back in! 😂🥰
Thank you! His curiosity definitely kept him going despite those little meows to head back inside! Lol, and yes, the snow shake-off was cute moment !
Awww love his little meows, I think he likes being back home Lol. I do like his harness, fits great.
Thank you! His little meows were cute. Funny thing he went out on his own twice during the summer when the screen door was left open a little. He was in no rush going back inside but he didn’t go far. The harness fit well on him and he didnt mind it!
Leo’s first few steps outside and in the snow looked like he was assessing whether it was safe. It’s fascinating to watch their instincts kick in! Well done Leo for your first time.
Thank you! Yes, its really is fascinating to see their instincts in action-Leo’s careful steps were like he was calculating every move. We’re so proud of how well he did for his first time in the snow! =)
So lovely to watch ❤
In the beginning, the way Leo meowed at the door was hilarious. It was like he’s saying, ok, adventure over, take me back inside!😂
Thank you! That meow at the door was so funny-it really did feel like he was saying, Alright, I’ve had enough, take me back inside! =) But a few secs later curiosity kicked in lol
This is so heartwarming to see! Family teamwork really helped Leo feel safe and curious at the same time. 😻❄
Thank you so much! It really was a team effort to help Leo feel safe while exploring. His curiosity is so fun to watch, and having the whole family there definitely made a difference for him. =)
Aww, Leo is so alert and aware of his surroundings. And those meows wanting to first go back inside but did well exploring afterwards. Loved his fun adventure!🤗❤
Thank you so much! Leo really is such a smart and cautious little explorer. Those meows at the start were definitely his way of saying, 'I’m not so sure about this!' lol But he surprised us by staying out a bit longer and taking in all the new sights and smells. So glad you enjoyed his little adventure-it means a lot! =)
Leo’s cautious cat instincts kicking in but curious personality shines through so beautifully. It was great that the family was there with him on the walk around the house making it more easier for him. Good work everyone!
Thank you! Leo’s instincts definitely kicked in, but we’re so proud of his curiosity and bravery. Having the family there really helped him feel more confident. It’s always a team effort in our family. =)
Its adorable how everyone played a part in making Leo’s adventure comfortable. Such a wonderful moment to watch😻💕
Thank you so much! It really was a team effort, and we’re so happy it helped make Leo feel more comfortable during his little adventure. Moments like these are so special to share with him, and we’re glad you enjoyed watching it too! =)
Such a precious moment seeing him take those first steps outside! It’s amazing how instinctive he is, even staying low to the ground. Understandable being cautious and apprehensive in the beginning but Leo did very good and is a natural😻
Thank you so much! It really was a special moment seeing Leo take those first steps. His instincts were definitely in full swing, staying low and cautious, but we’re so proud of how well he did! He’s such a natural explorer. =)
You can tell Leo feels reassured with all of you there. That’s the best way to introduce him to the outdoors. Nicely done everyone!
Thank you! We really wanted Leo to feel safe and supported while experiencing his first snow. In the summertime, he actually went out on his own a few times when he managed to sneak through a slightly open screen door! He seems to really enjoy the outdoors when he gets the chance. Having us all there this time seemed to help him build up his confidence. We’re so proud of him, and thanks so much for watching!
The basement reset is interesting and it shows how pets find their own comfort zones. Leo did so well, and having family around him definitely helped. Amazing work, everyone! 🥰❤
Thank you! It’s amazing how pets find their own ways to feel safe, and Leo’s basement reset is such a unique little habit of his. Having the family there definitely made his snowy adventure smoother. So glad you liked the video! =)
Aww, those cute meows when he was first out the door. Also, your patience as a family helping him explore and little by little get comfortable on his 1st day. 😊❤️
Thank you so much! We really wanted to make sure Leo felt safe and supported, so taking it slow was important for his first snowy adventure. It means a lot that you noticed-we’re so proud of him for being so brave! =)
A nice video and thank you for sharing. It’s nice to see how much love and support Leo gets from everyone. :)
Thank you so much! =)
Great job, Leo! 🥰Trying snow for the first time can be overwhelming but he explored like a true Siberian. 🐈⬛
Thank you! Trying snow for the first time is definitely a big step but Leo handled it like a true Siberian! We’re so proud of him! =)
Years ago, it was my cat's first snowfall. I carried her outside and for about five minutes, she kept pawing at the snowflakes like she was trying to catch them. Her confused little face and meows were priceless!
Cats are so methodical in new situations and it’s like they’re little detectives. You can totally see Leo assessing his surroundings in the snow before deciding if it’s safe. Good work Leo.
Thank you! Cats really are like little detectives and it was fun to watch Leo carefully assess his surroundings in the snow before deciding what to do. He did such a great job! =)
Good first walk Leo. Well done and I hope to see more walks from you.
Thanks for watching and we possibly might do a bit more in winter. Summer time he gets excited and hes sneaked out on his own into the yard a few times briefly. =)
The way he stops, stays low and looks around is so precious! You can see him processing everything and keep alert from other predators just like in the animal kingdom. Being cautious of the unknown outside. Such a smart boy! 😍
Thank you so much! It’s amazing to watch him navigate the outside world-he’s so cautious and instinctive, almost like he’s channeling his wild ancestors! You can really see his mind working and taking it all in while staying alert. He’s a smart and curious kitty and we’re so proud of him for being brave enough to explore! =)
Leo’s expressions are everything! You can tell he’s thinking, ok this cold stuff is weird but I’ll give it a try. lol Leo did very well and such a fun video! :)
Thank you so much! Leo’s expressions always crack me up. He definitely looked like he was trying to figure out what is this cold weird stuff. lol Glad you enjoyed the video! =)
(edited))
Leo might be from Siberia by way of Florida 😂
lol At least hes definitely getting there one paw step at a time.
omg🤣😂
Cutie Leo did an excellent job exploring outside in snow! 😄My Jenna had a hilarious reaction to snow and she walked two steps, shook her paws dramatically, and bolted back inside. 😂
Thank you! Jenna’s reaction sounds absolutely priceless-those dramatic paw shakes must have been hilarious! =)
Can’t wait to hear more about Leo’s adoption journey! Leo's such a special cat and this snowy walk was relatable as my cat reacted similar.
Thank you so much! We’re excited to share more about Leo’s adoption journey soon. So glad you could relate to the snowy walk and thanks for sharing. =)
It’s so sweet seeing the whole family out there helping Leo feel safe during his first snow experience! Such a lucky kitty. 🥰❄
Thank you so much! We really wanted Leo to feel safe and supported during his first snowy adventure, and having the whole family there made it so special. =)
Been following Leos journey. Thank you for sharing this lovely exploration video of Leos first snow experience. 😄He did so well and my cat wouldnt dare go outside lol
Thank you so much for following Leo’s journey! It means a lot to us that you’re enjoying his little adventures. He really did so well for his first time in the snow, but I totally get it-some cats prefer the cozy indoors! Thanks for watching. =)
Leo's slow, careful steps and those little meows were so sweet to see. 😻You did an amazing job doing perimeter check and exploring Leo! A smart brave kitty! 🐾❄
Thank you! His little meows and cautious steps were so adorable-it’s like he was planning his every move! We’re so proud of Leo. Glad you enjoyed watching! =)
