The Sphynx Cat Wrapped Herself Around a Lop Bunny in the Snow
Snow lies thinly over the boards, and at dusk the porch light is just coming up. A pink Sphynx cat has curled herself around Pudding the gray lop-eared bunny, one slender paw pressed against the bunny's chest and her cheek resting on her fluffy head. The bunny's long ears droop and her dark eyes are calm. A wicker basket, a pair of rubber boots, and a stack of firewood sit in the background, and the air looks cold and still.
Sphynx cats have very little fur and get chilly easily, so they are normally indoor cats, and cold weather calls for blankets and warmth. Rabbits handle cold better than many pets, thanks to their thick fur, but they still need shelter from wet and wind, and a safe enclosure from predators. Neither pet should be left outside in freezing weather unattended. In winter, check water bowls for ice and make sure each animal has a dry, sheltered place to rest. For advice on keeping pets comfortable in the cold, talk to your vet.
The picture is a study in warmth against cold, the cat's pink skin glowing next to the soft gray fur. The two share a blanket and a quiet moment while the snow settles around them and the evening slowly darkens, with nothing more to do than keep one another warm.
