An orange tabby cat and a golden puppy rest together on a windowsill beside frost-covered glass. 4 / 26

Frost Covered the Window. The Sill Had Two Very Warm Residents.

AI imageorange tabbypuppywinter

Ice flowers have crept across the windowpane, but the sill is the warmest place in the room. An orange tabby lies with his front paws tucked under his chest, his amber eyes calm and content. A golden puppy rests beside him with his chin on a knitted blanket and his ears hanging low. Beyond the frosted glass, bare trees and a thin layer of snow wait outside, while a basket of yarn sits quietly in the background.

Orange tabbies have a reputation for being friendly and laid-back, though every cat has his own personality. Cold weather often sends cats looking for warm resting spots. Sunny windowsills, soft blankets, and spots near a heating vent are favorites. If you give your pets a window perch in winter, a folded blanket helps, because glass can be chilly even when the sun is shining.

Winter is a good time to check on the small comforts. Puppies and short-haired cats can feel the cold, so cozy bedding away from drafts is worth having. Keep space heaters and fireplaces behind safe barriers, and look out for pets squeezing into spots that could get too hot. If you are unsure how much warmth a very young or older pet needs, talk to your vet.

This puppy has clearly found a friend who is as warm as a little furnace. The frost can keep drawing its patterns on the glass, because these two have no plans to move.
