Thank you, alimey, I really appreciate that. We lost our cat that way, and my then 10yr-old son was absolutely devastated. So I know all too well what it feels like. We were so lucky back then in that someone saw the accident, and mentioned it to the girls next door who purely by chance (I had helped one of them with a pair of skates in the street a few weeks before) knew who we were and that we had a cat with that colouring.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
