The Winter Coat

The temperatures have begun to drop on the Amalfi Coast, especially at night with the cold north winds blowing down the valleys along the Lattari Mountains. It’s time of year for throwing an extra blanket on the bed and pulling out the heavy winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves. Our cats have been busy getting their winter coats ready, too. This is also the time of year when Puffy – the fluffy mascot that makes his way into the pages of this blog – truly earns his name. Here’s what he looked like toward the end of August:

You might even wonder how this big-eared cat ended up with a name like Puffy. That is, until you see him with his winter coat.

That’s better! Now he’s ready to make it through the cold and blustery winter days – and even the occasional snow! Although this is likely what Puffy will do all winter long. (Can you blame him?)

Warm wishes from the Amalfi Coast!

    That is amazing! He looks like a different breed of cat from one photo to the next. And in the spring you’ll be wearing all that extra fur on your clothes from his shedding! He is truly beautiful.

      Ciao Laura! I know…. it happens so slowly that I don’t noticed the change on a daily basis. In the winter I forget how skinny he is in the summer, and in the summer I forget how deliciously puffy (puffalicious) he is in the winter. Two winters ago we spayed our long hair female cat (the mother of Puffy) and she didn’t loose her winter fur last summer. I wonder if Puffy will be the same since he was neutered in September?? I wouldn’t complain if he was fluffy all year … but in August he might not be so happy! 🙂

    Just a dog (a beautiful German Shepherd) but I miss cats! My hubby is allergic to the sweet fluffy things.

      German Shepherds are beautiful dogs. Oh, he would definitely be allergic to Puffy then! 🙂

    He is too cute for words!! I can’t get over the changes between the first and the last pictures.

    I’m allergic to cats. It bums me out as I like them much more than I like dogs.

      It shocks me as well to see the photos from summer and winter with Puffy! He really looks like a different cat. 🙂 Oh, I’m really sorry that you’re allergic to cats. I like them much more than dogs, too.

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
