Jinx Stood on Her Back Legs to Catch the Lowest Ornament

AI imagesiameseornamentchristmas tree

Standing tall on her back legs, the seal point Siamese kitten reaches up with both paws and grabs a shiny red ornament that dangles from the lowest branch. Her bright blue eyes are fixed on her prize, and her dark ears and tail contrast with her cream coat. Above her, pinecones and a wooden star hang from the tree, and a pair of slippers and a denim jacket lie on the floor behind her.

Siamese cats are intelligent, talkative, and very social. They love attention and are often described as dog-like, following their people from room to room and joining in everything. Kittens of the breed are extra energetic and curious, so a swinging ornament is irresistible. They benefit from interactive toys, climbing trees, and plenty of daily play to burn off all that energy.

Ornaments are among the most common holiday hazards for cats. Glass ones can break into sharp pieces, and a kitten who bats one can send it crashing to the floor. Place breakable ornaments high up and use shatterproof ones on lower branches. Skip tinsel and strings, and consider a spare tree or a small tabletop one if your kitten is a determined climber.

We'll call her Jinx. She's confident she can catch that ornament, and she intends to try again as soon as you look away.
