A British Shorthair Turned Reindeer on the Frosty Porch

AI imagebritish shorthairreindeer antlerssnowy porch

A silver tabby British Shorthair has been outfitted as a reindeer, and she is wearing the antlers with great dignity. The brown antlers sit on her head between round ears, and her wide golden eyes look straight ahead. She sits by a porch railing frosted with snow, while a dark blue door behind her carries a green wreath. A small potted evergreen waits on the porch, and a neighbor's snowy roof is just visible past the rail. The soft stripes on her face make her look both serious and sweet.

British Shorthairs have round faces, dense coats, and a mellow disposition, and many are patient enough to put up with a bit of dress-up. Still, costumes should be treated carefully. Make sure any headband or collar fits loosely, cannot catch on anything, and has no small pieces that she could chew off. Watch her closely, and take the outfit off if she seems stressed, because some cats simply dislike wearing things. Keep any outdoor time short in the cold, and have a warm indoor spot ready. Talk to your vet if you have questions about your cat's winter comfort.

As reindeer go, she is one of the calmest ever to guard a porch. She may not fly, but she definitely looks the part. Even the snow seems to be paying attention.
