A grandma on a couch holds a vanilla ice cream cone while a fluffy silver tabby cat on her lap licks the scoop. 38 / 39

Grandma Settled In With a Vanilla Cone. She Only Got a Few Bites In.

AI imagenorwegian forest catice creamcozy evening

The lamp glows, the curtains are drawn, and Grandma Edie has treated herself to a vanilla cone on the couch. She didn't get far. Frost, sprawled across her lap in all his silvery tabby glory, has stretched his neck forward and is licking the scoop with his little pink tongue, eyes narrowed in concentration. Edie watches him with a soft, indulgent smile, holding the cone perfectly still for him. A cream knit blanket bunches behind them on the couch, and a mug and a small stack of books sit on the side table beside the lamp.

It's a sweet scene, but ice cream isn't a good treat for cats. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant, which means dairy can lead to upset stomachs, gas, or diarrhea. Ice cream also contains a lot of sugar and sometimes ingredients like chocolate or xylitol that are dangerous for pets. A single accidental lick is unlikely to cause harm in a healthy cat, but it's best not to make it a habit. Some pet stores sell frozen treats made especially for cats and dogs, and your vet can suggest safe options for warm days.

Edie probably knows this already, and the next cone will likely stay out of reach. For tonight, though, Frost got his tiny taste of vanilla and looks thoroughly pleased with himself.

Some evening treats are best enjoyed together, even if one of you only gets a single sneaky lick.
