Abuela Rosa Tucked in Mango Corner by Corner. He Allowed It.
Abuela Rosa bends low over a big round grey bed, tucking a cream knitted blanket around Mango with careful, gentle hands. She wears a floral apron over a pale blue shirt, small gold earrings, and her glasses are slipping a little as she focuses on getting every corner just right. Mango sits wrapped like a burrito with only his round orange face poking out, copper eyes slightly narrowed and mildly unimpressed. A wicker basket, a leafy plant on a shelf, some shoes by the wall, and a folded blanket sit in the background, and a few orange hairs are scattered across the bed.
Cats are famous for choosing their own sleeping spots, and many love a soft, enclosed bed in a quiet corner. A cozy blanket can add comfort, but it should be light and loose so that a cat can wriggle out easily. Exotic Shorthairs have dense coats and flat faces, so they can get warm quickly, and a cat should never be wrapped tightly. Wash bedding regularly to keep it fresh and brush a cat's coat to reduce loose hair. Cats sleep many hours a day, so a peaceful spot away from drafts and noise is worth the effort. Talk to your vet if sleeping habits change suddenly.
Mango tolerates the fussing with great dignity. By morning, he will probably be somewhere else entirely, and Rosa will tuck him in again.
