A Hairless Sphynx Curled Around a Sleeping Gray Bunny in a Basket

AI imagesphynx catlop bunnybasket nap

A woven basket lined with a cream knitted blanket is occupied by two sleepers. A gray Sphynx lies curled on the left with her wrinkled skin and enormous ears relaxed and her eyes closed, her body wrapped protectively around the bunny. Beside her, Pudding the gray lop-eared rabbit rests with her head tucked low and her ears drooping, as quiet and still as a plush toy. A pot of eucalyptus sits on the table behind them, among a heap of shoes, jackets, and green sweaters.

Sphynx cats love warmth and will often seek out a soft blanket or a sunny spot, since they have no coat to keep them cozy. Rabbits, on the other hand, can overheat easily, so a pet rabbit needs a spot where she can move away if she gets too warm. Baskets are popular with both species, as cats love enclosed places and rabbits enjoy snug hiding spots. Whenever a cat and a rabbit share a space, supervise them and make sure each has an escape route. If you are not sure how to arrange a safe resting space for your pets, your vet can offer guidance.

The picture has the quiet comfort of a bedtime story. There is warmth in the wool, softness in the fur, and a feeling that nothing in the world needs doing right now. The Sphynx keeps her place, the bunny keeps hers, and the basket holds them both.
