Grandpa Dozed in the Hammock With Pebble Tucked Against Him

AI imageexotic shorthairhammocknap

Grandpa lies back in a rope hammock under an old tree, his eyes closed and a peaceful look on his face. Pebble is curled against his shoulder, her round face tucked close and her eyes shut, tail draped across his arm. The yard behind them has a porch, pots of plants, and a blue watering can, and dappled light filters through the leaves.

His olive-green cardigan is soft and worn, and Pebble's plush fur blends into the folds of wool. They look like they have done this on many afternoons and plan to do it many more.

Hammocks and cats can make a lovely pair, but a little care helps. Rope can catch claws, so keep an eye on her as she settles, and make sure the hammock is firmly attached before you both climb in. Cats nap for many hours a day, and a warm shoulder or chest is a favorite spot. The Exotic Shorthair's flat face can make her breathe a little noisily when asleep, which is usually normal, but mention loud or labored breathing to your vet. A cool drink of water nearby keeps her comfortable.

The leaves rustle, the hammock rocks gently, and the afternoon goes by without a care. By the time they wake the shadows will have shifted across the yard, and supper will be waiting somewhere in the house.
