Grandpa Kenji Sat Down to Finish His Snowy Puzzle. Pepper Took the Next Chair.
A snowy forest scene is slowly taking shape on the kitchen table, surrounded by little blue and white pieces. Grandpa Kenji leans over it in a green sweater vest and pale blue shirt, glasses on, pressing one more piece into place with great care. On the wooden chair beside the table, Pepper sits upright with her front paws together, wavy black coat shining and huge ears pointed forward as she watches. A bowl of nuts, a coffee mug, a folded cloth and a set of keys sit on the table, while a bright kitchen with a refrigerator and coats on hooks stretches behind them.
Devon Rex cats are famously curious and love to be involved in whatever their people are doing. They are often compared to puppies for their playful, social nature, and many will follow their owner from room to room. That curiosity can extend to small objects, so puzzle pieces, bottle caps and loose keys are worth keeping out of reach to avoid chewing or swallowing. Providing puzzle feeders, wand toys and short play sessions can help satisfy a Devon Rex's active mind. A chair or perch near the action, like this one, lets them stay close without getting into trouble.
Jigsaw puzzles are a popular, relaxing activity for older adults that keep the mind engaged and offer a steady sense of progress.
Pepper seems to be studying the picture as carefully as Kenji is. She may not find the missing piece, but she is excellent company.
