A Siamese Cat Reached Out a Paw and Went Straight for the Ribbon
A seal point Siamese is stretched across a soft blanket with one dark paw reaching straight into a tangle of red ribbon. The ribbon is tied around a kraft-paper gift with a sprig of greenery tucked in, and she is already testing the loops. Her blue eyes look sharp and focused, and her dark ears are tilted forward. Behind her are a mug, a pair of glasses, a small pine tree decorated with wooden stars, and a window with a plaid blanket draped nearby.
Siamese cats are intelligent, agile, and talkative, and they are known for their love of play and attention. They often enjoy games that involve their paws, so a ribbon swinging off a present is almost too tempting. However, ribbon and string can be dangerous if swallowed, so it is best to trade the ribbon for a wand toy or a ball and to put loose ribbon away. Keep the greenery on the gift out of reach as well, because pine and some holiday plants can upset a cat's stomach. If your Siamese seems unwell after chewing anything, call your vet. Daily play helps clever cats stay out of trouble.
She may or may not open the gift, but she has certainly unwrapped the fun. A bow, a paw, and a cozy blanket are all a Siamese needs.
