Grandma Nell Made Popcorn for Movie Night. Bluebell Needed to Approve It First.
Movie night has barely started, and the snack is already under inspection. Grandma Nell sits on the couch in a faded denim shirt, her long silver braid falling over one shoulder, holding a bowl of popcorn and laughing softly. Bluebell, her blue point Ragdoll, has pushed her face right up to the rim, bright blue eyes half closed as she takes a long, thoughtful sniff. The cat's fluffy cream body and smoky gray points look extra plush in the soft lamplight. A remote rests on the cushion, and a cozy throw and potted plant fill the corner behind them.
Ragdolls are known for their gentle, relaxed personalities and their tendency to follow their people from room to room, which is why they are often called puppy-like cats. They are generally calm, affectionate, and happy to be part of household routines. When it comes to snacks, plain air-popped popcorn is not toxic to cats, but it offers no nutritional value, and butter, salt, and seasonings are not good for them. Unpopped kernels can be a choking hazard. A cat treat or a small piece of their usual food is a better movie-night share.
Bluebell may decide popcorn is not worth the trouble after all, but she will certainly stay for the movie. With a warm lap and a good film, Nell has the perfect company for the evening.
