The Fall Porch Display Was Perfect Until a Ginger Kitten Reached the Summit

AI imagehalloweenorange tabbyfall decorations

The porch has been decorated with everything the harvest has to offer: bumpy green gourds, little orange pumpkins, ears of ornamental corn with papery husks, and tall stalks of dried wheat fanning out to the sides. Standing right on top of the arrangement, as though he climbed it just to see the view, is a plush orange tabby kitten with a round face and big copper eyes. One paw rests on a knobbly gourd, and his expression is pure, wide-eyed wonder. Gardening gloves, potted mums, and a pair of sneakers sit by the door behind him.

Seasonal decorations are lovely, but many of them are tempting for curious kittens to chew or bat around. Dried corn, husks, wheat stalks, and straw can cause stomach upset or even blockages if pieces are swallowed. Decorative gourds and pumpkins that start to soften can grow mold, which shouldn't be eaten by pets. Fake leaves, plastic berries, and small ornaments can be choking hazards. A simple fix is to place fall displays where pets can't easily reach them, check them every few days, and toss anything that's beginning to rot. If your kitten seems to have swallowed part of a decoration, call your vet.

This little one seems more interested in the view than the snacks. He's surveying his harvest like a proud farmer at the county fair.

The porch display was beautiful before. Now it has a centerpiece.
