Odessa Set the Lace Table for Tea. Onyx Showed Up Dressed in Black.

AI imagedevon rexafternoon tealace tablecloth

A lace tablecloth, a porcelain cup and a plate with a pastry make a lovely little tea table. Grandma Odessa sits in her green cardigan with her hands folded, her expression soft and content as she looks toward the kitchen window. Beside her, Onyx stands up on his hind legs with a paw on the table edge, his ears upright and his eyes bright. A spoon rests on the saucer, a bowl of fruit sits behind them and a warm light fills the room. It is a proper tea party, with an especially elegant guest.

Tea is a comforting ritual, but not all of it is safe to share. Plain tea, caffeine and sweets are not good for cats, and caffeine can be harmful even in small amounts. Spilled tea and sugary treats are best kept off the table's edge. Offer your cat a small treat or a spoonful of his regular wet food at the same time so he has something of his own. Devon Rex cats tend to be social, and they often join in whatever their person is doing. A regular teatime routine can be enjoyable for both: calm company, a quiet room and a familiar chair.

Odessa pours, Onyx perks up and the afternoon moves along at a gentle pace. Everyone gets a place at the table.
