The Tuxedo Cat Climbed Into the Sled and Waited for a Push
A tuxedo cat in perfect black-and-white formal wear sits inside a weathered wooden sled, as though waiting for a ride. Fresh snow covers the yard, a pair of gloves lies nearby, and a garland edges the porch of the house behind him. His yellow-green eyes are wide, with a hint of snow on his dark fur. The wood is gray and a little cracked, and the rope on the front looks well worn from many winters.
Tuxedo cats are not a breed but a coat pattern, and they appear in many types of cats. Owners often describe them as playful and talkative, but personality depends on the individual cat. Their sleek black fur shows snowflakes beautifully, which may be why this fellow looks so dapper out in the cold.
Outdoor snow is a place for short visits. Cold, wet fur and chilled paws can be uncomfortable, and salt or de-icer on walkways can irritate paws, so wipe them off after a trip outside. Indoor cats do best with a warm window to watch the snow from, while any cat spending time outdoors should always have shelter nearby.
We might name him Sir Oliver. He has settled into the sled like a very patient passenger, and he seems quite certain the hill is somewhere ahead. The snow is quiet and the air looks crisp, and he looks perfectly content to enjoy the winter view from his wooden seat.
