Frost Covered the Window, but This Corner Stayed Warm

Frost has crept across the glass in feathery patterns, and a black Devon Rex sits right beside it. Her curly coat gives her a velvety look, and her large ears and wide eyes watch the window. On the knit blanket in front of her, three fluffy chicks huddle close for warmth. A mug, a lamp and a tangle of cables sit in the soft light at the edge of the sill.

Devon Rex cats are known for their curly, short coats, big ears and playful, people-oriented personalities. They love warm places and often seek out laps, blankets and sunny windows, since their thin coat does not hold heat as well as some others. Winter is a good time to make sure pets have warm, dry places to rest. Chicks are even more sensitive to cold, and they should always have a heated brooder, never a drafty window. Whenever a cat and chicks are together, supervise closely, and wash your hands after touching poultry. Your vet can offer advice on keeping every pet comfortable in cold weather.

The window is icy, but this corner is warm. The Devon Rex has chosen her spot well, and the chicks seem to agree. Outside the window, the garden sleeps under ice. Inside, a small group has gathered to keep each other company until the world warms up again.
