Eight Ducklings Piled Into the Wagon, and a Sphynx Cat Took the Back Seat

AI imagesphynx catducklingswagon

A little wooden wagon has been parked on the grass, and it is full. A pink hairless Sphynx cat sits at the back with her huge ears pricked and her pale green eyes wide, and gathered in front of her are eight fluffy yellow ducklings. A rope trails from the front of the wagon, and a wooden fence and some trees catch the golden evening light. We'll call the cat Peaches again. The ducklings peep to each other as the wagon wheels sit still, as if the ride has already begun in their imaginations.

Sphynx cats are social and love to be near people and other animals. They are also very warm to the touch, which is why they often seek out cozy spots. They do not have fur to protect their skin, so they need sun protection and a warm home, and many need regular baths to remove natural skin oils. They are also very curious and love to explore new objects, so a wagon makes a good seat.

If you ever take ducklings outside, keep outings short and supervised, and make sure they stay warm and dry. A wagon is not a safe place for them to ride, because they can tumble out. Keep them in a secure carrier when moving them, and keep cats and other pets away.

Peaches looks like a proud driver, and the ducklings seem quite content. It is a very small, very cheerful parade. The wagon is a little crowded, but nobody is complaining.
