A Grey Scottish Fold Watches the Frost Spread Across the Window
Frost frames the window, a wreath with a bow hangs in the glass, and a chubby grey Scottish Fold sits on the sill with her gaze fixed on the world outside. Her folded ears sit close to her round head, her profile is calm and her soft grey coat nearly matches the winter light. A blanket sits folded on the ledge beside her, and a cozy kitchen with a mug and a plant sits behind.
Scottish Folds are known for their folded ears and round, sweet faces, and they are usually quiet, affectionate cats. The gene that gives them folded ears can also affect cartilage and joints, so it's a good idea to talk to your vet about joint health and comfortable resting spots. A windowsill is a lovely vantage point, but a cold glass can chill a cat, so a folded blanket makes it more comfortable. Hang the wreath where she cannot chew it, because some pine needles and decorations are not good for a cat's stomach.
We'll call her Pearl. She watches the winter with the patient attention of a cat who has all the time in the world. The frost spreads, the light fades and the house behind her grows warm, but she's content for now to sit and contemplate the view. It's a hushed, lovely moment, with the cold on the other side of the glass and a very comfortable cat on this side, perfectly at peace with the season.
