Grandpa Made a Big Bowl of Popcorn for Movie Night. A Blue-Eyed Guest Moved In.

AI imagesiamese catmovie nightpopcorn

A big glass bowl of fresh popcorn sits in Grandpa Walter's lap, and he is reaching in for another handful with a wide, warm smile. He wears a chunky tan cardigan over a plaid shirt, his glasses catching the lamplight and his white beard neatly trimmed. Sapphire sits upright beside him on the couch, blue eyes fixed on the bowl and nose leaning in to investigate. A rust-colored blanket is draped across the cushions, and a mug and potted plants sit on the table behind them in the soft glow of the evening.

Many cats are curious about people food, and the smell and crunch of popcorn can be especially intriguing. Plain, air-popped popcorn is not toxic in tiny amounts, but it offers no real nutrition for cats, who are strict carnivores. Butter, salt and seasonings can upset their stomachs, and unpopped kernels and hulls can pose choking risks or lodge in teeth. A safer way to include a cat in movie night is with a few cat treats or a cozy blanket next to you. Siamese cats in particular love being part of the action, so a little attention may satisfy them more than any snack.

Sharing a quiet evening with a pet can turn an ordinary movie into a comforting ritual, especially for people who live alone.

Sapphire will probably get a cat treat instead of popcorn, but she clearly plans to supervise every handful until the credits roll.
