The Sunniest Spot in the House Belonged to These Two

AI imagedevon rexlop-eared bunnywindowsill

The sunlight through the window is exactly the right temperature. A gray Devon Rex with enormous ears and a pixie face stretches along the wooden sill, front paws tucked neatly, her eyes narrowed toward the glare. Beside her sits a cream lop-eared bunny with ears relaxed and a sleepy look in her eye. Curtains hang to one side, and the sill is crowded with a small plant in a pot, a pair of glasses, a tangle of cords and a folded towel. The room behind them looks wonderfully lived in.

Devon Rex cats are famous for their short, wavy coat and big ears, and they have a reputation for being playful and people-oriented. Because their fur is so thin, many like to seek out warm places, which makes a sunny windowsill the best seat in the house. Sunbathing is good for the mood of many animals, but a window can become very hot, so make sure there is a cooler spot nearby. Rabbits can overheat quickly, so check that the glass is not magnifying the heat. Keep window latches secure and cords out of reach, and always offer fresh water.

With sun on their fur and nothing on the schedule, this pair seems to be in no hurry to leave their perch. Maybe they are watching birds, or maybe they are just enjoying the warm glow together.
