A Hairless Kitten Studied the Halloween Garland Overhead

AI imagesphynx kittenhalloweengarland

A paper garland of black bats and orange pumpkins stretches across the top of the room, and under it a hairless gray Sphynx kitten sits on a chunky knit blanket. Her ears are enormous, her skin is wrinkled in all the right places, and her eyes are turned to something at the side. On the nearby table, a glass of water and a few cozy throws complete a quiet fall corner.

Sphynx cats have little or no fur to keep them warm, so soft blankets are a must. They often seek out warm laps, sunny spots, and heated beds, and their skin needs a little extra care, such as regular wiping and baths as advised by a vet. Keep decorations like paper garlands out of reach, since a kitten may bat or chew them and swallow paper or string.

Sphynx kittens are known for their outgoing, cuddly, and curious natures, and they love to be close to their people. This one has the look of a cat that investigates every new decoration. The bats and pumpkins hanging overhead are a perfect match for her curious look. Her ears point up in a kind of wide-eyed wonder, as if the garland is the best thing she has seen all week. She tilts her head at the swaying bats as if she's trying to decide whether they are friends or toys.
