Next to These Giant Pumpkins, the Kitten Looks Barely Bigger Than a Seed

Next to these pumpkins, the kitten looks barely bigger than a pumpkin seed. A tiny white kitten sits on a bed of straw and dried vines in a backyard pumpkin patch, surrounded on all sides by enormous, glossy orange pumpkins. Its pink-lined ears are perked up and its little face turns to the side, green-gold eyes studying something just out of view. Dried leaves and twisting vines wind between the pumpkins, and behind the patch stand a small gray shed, a wooden deck, a coiled garden hose, and corn stalks in the soft autumn light.

White kittens are not a single breed, and white coats can appear in many cat breeds and mixed cats. Some white cats with blue eyes are more likely to be born deaf, so if you notice a white kitten not responding to sounds, it is worth mentioning to your vet. White and light-colored cats can also be more prone to sunburn on their ears and noses, so limiting time in strong sun is wise. Any outdoor time for a young kitten should be closely supervised, since they can wander off, get stuck, or meet other animals.

From this little explorer's point of view, the pumpkin patch must look like a forest of giant orange boulders. It is the perfect place for a first big adventure, and a sweet reminder of just how small kittens really are.
