Grandpa Settled In With a Bowl of Popcorn. The Cat Slid Closer

AI imagemaine coonmovie nightpopcorn

A big ceramic bowl full of popcorn sits in Harold's lap and he reaches in for a handful, a tender smile spreading across his face. Smoky leans in at his shoulder, her silver striped fur bristling softly and her eyes narrowed in curiosity. A few stray kernels dot the cushions. The cozy living room behind them has a bookshelf, framed photographs, and a window glowing with late sunlight, and the couch is draped with soft throws.

Cats are often curious about human snacks, and the smell of buttery popcorn can be hard to resist. Plain, air-popped popcorn is not toxic in tiny amounts, but butter, salt, and flavorings can upset a cat's stomach, and unpopped kernels are a choking risk. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their main diet should be meat-based, so snacks like popcorn do not give them what they need. If you want to share movie night with your cat, a few of her usual treats are a better choice. Maine Coons are large cats that can gain weight, so keep treats small and ask your vet about the best diet. A blanket on the couch protects the cushions from loose fur.

The movie is probably still playing, but nobody has noticed. The popcorn bowl is the main attraction tonight, and both of them seem happy with the arrangement.
