Frost Covered the Window, and Frost the Cat Sat Watching It

AI imagesilver tabbyfrosty windowwreath

Perched on a cushioned ledge, a silver tabby cat looks off to the side with calm green eyes. The window beside it is covered in frost, with a green wreath tied by a ribbon hanging in the glass. The tabby's coat is marked with swirls and stripes in soft gray and cream, and its whiskers are lit by the light. Around it, a basket of yarn, a mug, a pair of slippers, and some pine sprigs suggest a snug, well-used room.

Frosty windows can be chilly, so a blanket or cushion on the ledge is a thoughtful touch for a cat that likes to sit there. A window offers entertainment too, from birds to passing cars, which helps indoor cats stay mentally active. Make sure the window is closed and the screen is secure. A wreath hanging nearby should be out of paw's reach, because pine needles and berries can upset a cat's stomach if chewed, and some holiday plants are poisonous to cats. If you are unsure, ask your vet.

The thoughtful sitter, perhaps called Frost, seems to be working out what is happening beyond the glass. There is no hurry on a cold morning, and a warm ledge is the best seat in the house. Winter is gentler when you can watch it from a cozy spot, and this cat has found the best one.
