Smiling silver-haired grandma playing checkers on a porch table while a black cat rests his chin on the board 15 / 36

Odessa Made Her Move at Checkers. Onyx Put His Chin Down to Watch.

AI imagedevon rexcheckersporch game

The checkers are lined up, the porch is quiet and Grandma Odessa is smiling at her next move. She wears a soft green cardigan and round glasses, and her gaze rests on the board with calm confidence. On the other side, Onyx has stretched a paw across the wood and set his chin right on the table, his ears upright and his golden eyes watching the red and black pieces. A porch screen door and a spiky green plant sit in the background, giving the game a peaceful backdrop.

Board games are a lovely way for older adults to keep their minds active and share time with others. They can also be a fun spot for a cat to be near his person. If your cat wants to join in, keep small game pieces out of paw's reach, because they can be batted off the table or swallowed. A shallow dish of treats or a toy on the table gives him something else to focus on. Devon Rex cats are intelligent, curious and quick, so they often enjoy being part of whatever is going on. Cats thrive on interaction, so inviting yours to sit nearby can be a happy compromise.

The game may be Odessa's, but the audience is all Onyx. He seems to be rooting for the red pieces.
