A Siamese Cat Carried Off the Candy Cane and Sat Down Like a Queen

AI imagesiamese catcandy canechristmas

With bright blue eyes and a dark mask, a seal point Siamese cat sits on a cream blanket and holds a candy cane crosswise in its mouth. The red and white stripes stand out against the cat's sleek, pale fur, and its ears are pricked. Behind the cat, a Christmas tree glows by a sunny window, with a stack of kraft-paper presents beneath it. A pair of glasses, a plush toy, and some pine sprigs add to the cozy scene.

Siamese cats are famously talkative, social, and clever, and they often carry things around in their mouths. They love attention, and many form strong bonds with their people. A candy cane is not a good plaything, though. It is sugary, may contain xylitol, and can break into sharp pieces, so keep candy out of reach and offer a cat-safe toy in its place. If a cat swallows something it should not, call your vet for advice. A feather wand or a small plush mouse makes a fine swap for a candy prize.

This elegant thief, perhaps named Mocha, seems pleased with her find. She holds it with great poise, as if it were a rose. The tree and the gifts glow behind her, but all eyes are on the cat. A Siamese with a candy cane makes the kind of picture people smile at for a long time.
