A Ginger Kitten Made Friends With the Snowman in the Yard

AI imageorange kittensnowmanwinter

A snowman with a carrot nose and a green knit scarf now has a fluffy orange companion. The kitten sits in the snow beside him, her long ginger fur dotted with snowflakes and her green eyes focused on something beyond the camera. The yard behind them is quiet, with a gray house, a fence and a few bare shrubs, and the white landscape makes her orange coat glow.

Orange cats are often thought to be extra friendly and outgoing, though personality really depends on the individual cat. Most orange cats are male because of how the orange color gene is carried, but females exist too. Long-haired kittens need regular brushing, and winter snow can clump on their fur, so a towel and a warm room are useful after any time outside. Even a fluffy coat is not much protection for a young kitten, so keep outdoor time brief and supervised, and bring her in if she shivers or paws at her feet. Snow also hides hazards like antifreeze spills, which are dangerous to pets, so a safe, fenced spot is best.

The snowman does not seem to mind the company, and the kitten seems to enjoy the quiet. When the sun comes out he will melt, but this picture of a winter friendship is likely to last long after the last flake has melted away.
