Their fur is soft, thick and dense. This allows the cat to stay warm during the winter. 

Snow leopards' fur is gray, or cream colored and have grayish or black blurred markings. They are arranged in rows and get pale during the winter. This helps them blend in with their surroundings by acting as a camouflage. The markings are made up of spots and rosettes. 

Snow leopards' paws help keep them from sinking into the snow. They are also covered in fur on the bottom that helps walk across rocky terrain.
