A Birman Kitten Climbed Onto the Sled and Refused to Be Pulled Anywhere

AI imagebirman kittensledsnowy yard

The old wooden sled has become a throne. A seal point Birman kitten sits on its slats, her cream coat nearly blending into the snow and her dark face turned to the side as if she has spotted a bird. White-tipped paws rest on the wood, a pair of black gloves lies in the snow nearby and a house with a Christmas wreath on the door glows in the golden light of late afternoon.

Birmans are long-haired cats with silky coats, deep blue eyes and white 'gloves' on their paws. They are known for gentle, sociable personalities and often follow their people from room to room. Because they are not built for harsh weather and kittens chill quickly, a snowy outing should be very short and supervised, preferably on a harness. Cold paws, shivering or crying mean it is time to head inside. Wipe paws afterward, since road salt and de-icers can irritate skin and be harmful if licked. Most cats are safest and happiest indoors, with a window perch to enjoy the winter view and a heated blanket or warm bed to curl into.

Whatever she is looking at, she looks completely at home on her wooden throne. It is a pretty winter picture with the glow of a late afternoon, and she seems quite content to rule the snowy yard.
