A Snow-White Kitten Hid in the Harvest Display on the Porch
On a weathered wooden porch, a tiny white kitten sits tucked beside a bundle of dry cornstalks, her fluffy coat glowing against the autumn colors. Striped green gourds and orange pumpkins crowd around her paws, and her round green eyes look curiously right at you. Behind her, a plaid shirt hangs on the railing, a pair of work boots rests by the door and a few fallen leaves scatter across the boards.
Fall decorations are a feast for a kitten's curiosity. Long, rustling cornstalks look like toys, and little gourds look like balls, but they are not safe to chew. Dried stalks can poke eyes and mouths, and decorative gourds may be moldy or treated with sprays. Keep a close watch on a kitten that explores a porch, and make sure she can't wander off into the yard or street. Fluffy breeds like the Norwegian Forest Cat have thick coats and need regular gentle brushing. Offer a warm bed indoors for when the evening gets chilly, because tiny kittens lose body heat fast.
Little Pearl is perfectly at ease in her harvest hideout. She seems to have noticed that she matches the porch, a snowy spot among the oranges and golds. Halloween is on its way, and she is already in the mood, ready to watch every pumpkin and passing trick-or-treater from her cozy post.
