Small gray wavy-coated kitten with large ears sitting on a speckled floor beneath an orange and black pennant banner. 21 / 25

The Halloween Garland Went Up in the Hallway. The Smallest Guest Arrived.

AI imagedevon rexhalloween garlandhallway

A string of felt pennants in alternating orange and black zigzags across the hallway, and directly beneath it sits the smallest party guest. This little gray kitten has a short, rippled coat, huge satellite-dish ears and a narrow, elfin face that makes her look like a woodland sprite. She sits upright on the speckled floor with her front paws together, looking up at the camera with a calm, curious stare. A woven rug lies to one side, sandals and sneakers sit by the doorway, and a wicker basket and potted plant are visible in the next room.

Those enormous ears and wavy fur are signature traits of the Devon Rex, a breed often described as mischievous, social and very attached to its people. Devons have a fine coat with fewer guard hairs than many cats, so they can get chilly and often seek out warm laps, blankets and sunny windows. They are also famously curious, which means a garland hanging within jumping distance may soon become a toy. Hang decorations securely and high enough that strings and fabric cannot be pulled down and chewed, and skip anything with small parts like sequins or bells.

For now, this little pixie seems content just to sit beneath the festive banner and admire it. Halloween decorating has officially been approved. Soon enough, she will be curled up somewhere warm, dreaming of orange and black flags.
