Five Chicks Fell Asleep in the Curve of a Curly Cat

AI imagedevon rexbaby chickscouch

Morning sun pours through the window onto a well-worn couch, and in the middle of it lies a cream Devon Rex curled into a tight crescent with her eyes closed. Her wavy coat looks like soft ripples, and her big ears are spread wide. Five yellow chicks have nestled into the curve of her body, all asleep, their little heads resting on one another.

Devon Rexes have short, curly fur that is very fine, along with large ears and a pixie-like face. Fans describe them as playful, people-oriented cats who love to be near their humans, sometimes even perching on shoulders. Their thin coat does not hold heat the way heavier coats do, so they often seek out warm spots, and a sunny sofa is high on the list. A talk with your vet can help with questions about skin and coat care.

Group naps are a charming thing to watch. Many animals sleep better pressed against others, since body heat is shared and there is a sense of safety in numbers. Baby chicks do this all the time, huddling in a pile when they get tired. Add a warm cat and the pile gets even snugger.

Not a single one of them is stirring. The room is quiet, the sunlight has crept across the cushions, and the couch looks like the best place in the house to spend an unhurried morning.
