Grandma and Grandpa Took Breakfast Outside. Misty Came as Guest of Honor.

Breakfast has been carried outside to a weathered wooden table on the patio. There is a croissant on a small plate, a bowl of fresh strawberries and blueberries, a pat of butter with a knife, a mug of milky coffee, and a potted herb tucked into the corner. Grandpa, in a blue denim shirt and glasses, beams across the table at Grandma, who smiles back in a cozy beige cardigan. Sitting right at the edge of the table, upright and composed, Misty the Russian Blue gazes forward with calm green eyes, as though she has been invited as the guest of honor.

Eating outdoors is one of the simple pleasures of warmer months, and for many older couples it becomes a cherished morning ritual. If your cat joins the table, it is worth knowing which breakfast foods to keep away. Grapes and raisins have been linked to serious problems in some pets, and caffeine from coffee and tea is unsafe for cats. Butter and pastries are rich and fatty, which can upset a cat's stomach. Plain berries are not usually toxic, but cats are carnivores and get little benefit from fruit. A small dish of the cat's own food set nearby is a nice way to include them in the meal.

The sun is warm, the coffee is fresh, and the conversation flows easily. With Misty keeping everyone company, every ordinary breakfast feels like a small celebration.
