Pebble Stared Straight Ahead While Grandpa Fished From the Dock
Pebble fills the foreground with her round face and huge golden eyes, staring straight ahead as though she is the one in charge of the day's catch. Behind her, Grandpa sits on a weathered dock in a cream cardigan with a fishing pole resting in his hand and a calm, happy smile. A wooden fence and a grassy yard stretch out beyond.
The boards are gray with age and the line vanishes into the water. The moment looks peaceful, with a faint hint of curiosity, as if Pebble is waiting to see what will come up.
Cats on a dock need some care. Many cats dislike water, and slippery boards or gaps can lead to a fall, so keep her close and consider a harness and leash. Fishing gear like hooks, line, and bait can hurt a curious cat, so keep it out of reach and tidy. Fish bait can also carry germs, and not all seafood is safe, so ask your vet before sharing a catch. The Exotic Shorthair's flat face means she can overheat easily, so bring water and shade on warm days.
The fish may or may not bite, but Pebble has already decided the day is a success. The water laps against the posts and the afternoon stretches out. Whether the line moves or not, this is a very good place to be, and a very good seat to have.
