This Fluffy White Cat Walked Off With a Candy Cane

AI imagenorwegian forest catcandy canechristmas tree

Somewhere between the tree and the couch, a white Norwegian Forest Cat has come into possession of a candy cane, and she is carrying it in her mouth like a prize. Her pale green eyes look straight at the viewer, ears tall and tufted, whiskers fanned out around the striped candy. Her coat is enormous and creamy, and her tail trails behind her. The room behind is a lively holiday mess with blankets, a mug, and a Christmas tree glowing in the corner.

Norwegian Forest Cats are large, strong cats with long water-shedding coats and a good-natured but independent streak. They are famously good climbers, which makes a decorated tree an obvious challenge. Candy canes are not a safe treat for a cat. Sugar is not good for them, and the plastic wrapper and sharp pieces of a broken cane can cause choking or intestinal trouble, while some sweets contain xylitol, which is harmful. If you spot a cat with a candy cane, it is wise to swap it for a safe toy or treat, and call your vet if any was swallowed.

She holds it with such pride that it is hard not to smile. Every house seems to have one cat who believes the decorations were put out for her. Her tail swishes slowly, the way a cat's does when she believes she has gotten away with it.
