Grandma with curly grey hair and glasses shapes cookie dough as an orange cat with flour on its nose watches. 20 / 27

Opal Was Baking Cookies. Butterscotch Swears He Didn't Touch the Flour.

AI imageorange longhair catbakingkitchen

Warm light pours through the kitchen window onto a counter dusted white with flour. Opal is pressing dough into rounds, a steel mixing bowl at her elbow and a tray of chocolate chip cookies already lined up on parchment. She wears a moss-green cardigan, her glasses perched low and her grey curls a bit wild from the oven's warmth. Right at the edge of the counter sits Butterscotch, his long orange fur fluffed out and a telltale smudge of white flour on the tip of his nose. He gazes at the camera with big amber eyes, looking utterly innocent, as though he has no idea how that flour got there.

Chocolate chip cookies are a treat to keep far away from pets. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to cats and dogs, and darker chocolate is especially dangerous. Raw dough is risky too, as it often contains raw eggs and, if yeast is involved, can expand in the stomach. Flour itself isn't toxic in small amounts, but it's best not to let a cat lick it up or walk through it. Keeping cats off counters while baking and wiping up spills promptly is the safest approach. If your cat ever eats chocolate, call your vet or a pet poison helpline right away.

Butterscotch will be getting a cat treat instead of a cookie, and he'll probably need a quick nose wipe too. Opal's kitchen will smell wonderful all afternoon.
