Biscotti Sat Still in the Cornstalks and Listened to Everything

AI imageabyssinianthanksgivingcornfield

Dry golden cornstalks rustle all around a cinnamon Abyssinian, who sits upright in the middle of the field with her ears pointed and her green-gold eyes looking sideways. Long, pale husks hang from the stalks, bits of leaf cover the ground, and a house and some pumpkins sit in the background. The harvest light is soft and warm, and her ruddy coat glows against the straw tones.

Abyssinians are lively, curious, and alert, and the breed is known for loving to explore. Their short coat lies close to the body and is made up of bands of color, which gives it a glowing look in the light. Cats like this one often enjoy outdoor adventures, but the safest way is on a harness with a leash or in a fenced space. A harvest field can hide thorns, burrs, and wildlife, so check her coat and paws after any outing.

This is the same Biscotti who spent the afternoon snoozing by the fireplace, now out for a breath of autumn air. Cats can be stunningly still when they are watching something, and a field full of rustling sounds is a feast for the ears. She seems to be listening for a mouse, or the wind, or the next interesting sound. The harvest is in and the day is ending, and she sits tall, a small and handsome scarecrow of her own.
