Grandpa Ken Sat Down on the Porch Swing at Dusk. Yuki Had Been Waiting for This.
Dusk is settling over the backyard, and the porch swing has done its job. Grandpa Ken is fast asleep, his head resting against the wooden back, his brown knit sweater vest buttoned over a plaid shirt and a blue checked blanket bunched around him. Stretched along his chest and belly is Yuki, his snow Bengal, her creamy coat dotted with soft tan spots and stripes. She has wedged her head right up under his chin, eyes closed, completely at peace. Around them, the porch holds the remains of a busy day: work boots, gloves, potted plants, a basket, and a bottle of water left on the boards.
Bengals are known for being active, curious, and playful, so a quiet nap like this is a sweet reminder that even energetic cats need plenty of rest. Snow Bengals are a lighter color variety of the breed, with pale coats that show their spotted or marbled patterns in gentle shades. Many owners describe Bengals as people-oriented cats that like to follow their humans around and be involved in everything. Because they are so lively, they usually do best with daily interactive play, climbing spaces, and puzzle toys. A tired Bengal is often a content Bengal, which may explain why Yuki is sleeping so soundly here.
The swing barely moves, the evening air is cool, and neither of them has any intention of getting up soon. Some days end best with a long, quiet nap and a warm friend close by.
