Abuela Rosa Brought Mango In From the Rain. The Blanket Was Waiting.

Rain streaks the glass door behind Abuela Rosa as she wraps Mango in a thick cream cable-knit blanket. She wears a grey sweater under her floral apron, her grey hair is loosely pinned, and she looks down at him with a soft, loving smile. Mango peers out from the blanket with only his round orange face showing, copper eyes wide and a faint look of dismay. A lamp casts a warm glow on the hallway, with coats hanging nearby and a bowl on a shelf. It is clear that the weather did not agree with him, and the towel service has arrived.

After a walk in the rain, a cat needs to be dried gently. Wet fur can make a cat cold, so pat him dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing, and let him warm up in a cozy, draft-free spot. Check paws for mud, debris, or cuts, and keep an eye out for shivering. Cats groom themselves, but a damp coat can take a while to dry, especially in a dense-coated breed like the Exotic Shorthair. Offer fresh water and a warm place to rest. Most cats stay dry by choice, so talk to your vet if you are planning outdoor walks in changing weather.

Mango looks unimpressed with the whole adventure. Rosa's blanket, however, is the best ending the rainy day could have.
