We also had a white cat when I was younger (also named after snow), and he was amazing, both in emotional and normal intelligence. Just an incredible companion. He went missing more than 10 years ago, but I still miss him often.
Our girl has favorite spots in the house too. She tends to favor one spot for a little while, so she'll spend almost all her time hanging out there but then get bored and switch to a new spot. I recently named this phenomenon "Spot of the Week" lol
