The Pumpkin Carving Is Done. Pip the Cleanup Inspector Has Arrived.
The pumpkin carving is finished, and the cleanup inspector has arrived. A grey Sphynx kitten crouches on a kitchen table scattered with pumpkin seeds, stringy orange pulp, and cut chunks of pumpkin, its nose pressed down to give a pile of seeds a very careful sniff. Its oversized ears stand out like satellite dishes, and its wrinkled little forehead adds to the look of intense concentration. A finished jack-o'-lantern glows at the edge of the table, while a spoon, a dish towel, a succulent, and white kitchen cabinets fill the warm background.
Sphynx kittens are known for being outgoing, playful, and very people-focused, often following their owners from room to room. Without fur, they get cold easily and love warm spots, so it is no surprise this one found its way into the action. Plain cooked pumpkin is sometimes recommended for cats in small amounts, but raw pulp and seeds are not ideal snacks, and seeds can be hard for a tiny kitten to digest. Carving knives and tools should be put away promptly, and it is a good idea to keep kittens off the table entirely while carving is underway.
We will call this little one Pip, a perfectly small name for a perfectly curious kitten. Pip has given the seeds a thorough review and is now ready to move on to the next important household project.
