Ollie Put Up With the Turkey Sweater With Great Elegance
Sitting upright on a gray couch, a seal point Birman looks to the side with deep blue eyes. She wears a brown knitted sweater with a small turkey stitched to the shoulder, its feathers made of orange, yellow, and red felt. Her white paws rest neatly together and her fluffy cream chest shows at the neckline. Behind her, a table holds a mug, a plate of cranberries, and fall leaves, lit by lamplight.
Birmans are known for their silky coat, blue eyes, and white mittens on the paws. They are gentle, social cats that often enjoy following their people around and sitting close. The coat has little undercoat, so it tangles less than many other long-haired cats, but a regular brushing is still a good habit. They are usually calm and happy in a home with company.
Many cats are not fond of clothes, so a sweater is best for a short photo or a cat who is clearly relaxed. Look for something light and stretchy, with room to move, and take it off if she freezes, hides, or tries to chew it. Never leave a cat dressed up when you are not around. We will call this patient model Ollie. She is a good sport, and she wears her festive sweater with the calm grace of her breed, a perfect fit for a cozy holiday evening on the couch.
