Grandma Odessa Brought the Popcorn. Onyx Brought His Own Paw.

Movie night at Grandma Odessa's has a clear snack rule: everyone gets some. She sits in her gray cardigan holding a big glass bowl of popcorn, one hand reaching in for a handful. Beside her, Onyx has already dipped a paw into the bowl, his dark body squeezed close and his big ears turned toward the glow of the screen. Behind them, a cozy couch, warm lamps and a blanket complete the picture of a perfect evening in. The glow from the television flickers softly across the room.

Cats are curious about human snacks, but a few kernels of plain popcorn are only a small treat at best, and many cats do not need it at all. Salt, butter and flavorings can upset a cat's stomach, and unpopped kernels are a choking risk. Keep the bowl out of reach when you are not watching, and give your cat a few of his own favorite treats instead. Devon Rex cats tend to be food-motivated and clever with their paws, so they are especially good at sneaking a snack. If your cat tends to beg, set a routine, such as a small cat treat at the start of the movie, and ask your vet about portion sizes.

Odessa lets the paw stay, at least for a moment. After all, nobody should watch a movie alone.
