A Siamese Wrapped Herself Around a Pile of Sleepy Ducklings

AI imagesiamese catducklingscouch

The couch has never been so crowded or so soft. A blue point Siamese curls herself in a half circle with her pale grey fur, slate mask and sleepy blue eyes, one paw stretched over a pile of yellow ducklings that have snuggled against her chest. The little birds huddle close, their orange bills peeking out, their fluff bright against the cat's soft grey. Behind them, a plush bunny, a stack of picture books and a mug on a side table fill the cozy living room, and a lamp glows warmly against the cream wall. The whole room feels like late afternoon.

Siamese cats are famous for being social, vocal and devoted, and they often like to be as close to their companions as possible. That strong urge to snuggle is part of why the breed is so popular. Ducklings, like many young animals, are drawn to warmth and companionship, but a living-room couch is not a safe place for baby birds, and a cat's natural instincts mean they should be closely watched. Ducklings should live in a warm brooder with clean bedding and fresh water, and your vet can help you set it up.

It is the kind of scene you want to hold still for. The cat looks content, and the ducklings seem to think she is the best pillow in the house.
