I've been caught up in things lately, so I'm rather slow in commenting (sorry about that).
I liked this piece, and found it interesting to hear some of how you experience snow leopard. I found myself seeing the comparisons and the differences between what I experience as Cat and what you experience as snow leopard. If given better opportunity and time to type out my thoughts decently, I'd like to write about my experiences as cat sometime soon--though I don't know when that will actually happen.
In contrast to you having a fondness for the cold, I'm quite the opposite in that I have a very low tolerance for cold temperatures (probably has some influence from my hypothyroidism, but I don't really know at this time), although the cold sensitivity itself isn't attributed to or caused by my therianthropy, but my therianthropy is influenced by it, so to speak. Cold temperatures bring out a prominence of Cat for me (although random times, among other more specific things/occurrances also do so), and when I'm cold I feel like doing nothing more than curling up as a cat (in body; though I obviously can't do that) and using that position and my short fur to keep me warm, as I sleep until there's really need for me to be awake (such as for food). I just suffice with it though by wrapping up in a blanket and keeping my mind occupied enough that I don't think about being cold. I have at times, though, curled up on my computer chair and briefly rested a few minutes (not actually sleeping), but my body just wouldn't contort in a comfortable enough 'cat-like' position (while curled up) when I was on the chair like that.
