A Black Devon Rex Stood on the Porch Dressed as a Reindeer
A curly black Devon Rex has been crowned with a small set of reindeer antlers, and he wears them with a look of perfect composure. The antlers sit above his big ears, held by a strap under his chin, and his golden eyes look off to the right. He sits on snowy porch boards, with a blue door behind him, a wreath above, and old boots and gloves piled along the wall. Frost has settled on everything, and in the soft light his wavy coat looks like ripples of dark water.
Devon Rexes have short, wavy coats, huge ears, and lively, people-loving personalities, and they often like to perch on shoulders or follow family members from room to room. Because the coat is fine, they feel the cold more than many cats, so a snowy porch is not a place for a long stay. Keep the outing brief and have a warm blanket waiting. If you dress up a cat for fun, make sure the strap is loose and comfortable, supervise closely, and take it off at the first sign of stress. Your vet can advise about keeping a thin-coated cat comfortable in winter.
He is one very handsome reindeer. Even without the sleigh, he looks ready for a long night's work. The snow, the boots, and the blue door only add to the charm of the moment.
