A Hairless Sphynx Sat by the Frosted Window and Watched the Cold
Frost has drawn feathery patterns across the window glass, and a grey hairless Sphynx sits on the sill, her wrinkled skin smooth and pale in the winter light. Her large ears are angled outward, and her pale eyes look toward the room. A green wreath hangs beside the frozen pane, and behind her a room with a lamp, a stack of books, and a warm blanket glows in the dusk. The soft blue of the glass makes her look like a small silver statue.
Sphynx cats have no coat to keep them warm, so they love a sunny windowsill or a heated blanket, though a frosty window itself can be quite cold. A cushion or blanket on the sill helps protect her from the chill. Sphynxes are famously social and affectionate, and many like to be near their people. Because their skin can get oily or sunburned, a vet can recommend bathing and sun protection routines. Keep an eye on drafts, and offer warm places to sleep, since they tend to burrow under blankets in winter.
She looks calm and a little regal, watching the frost grow and the evening settle in. In a warm room, even the coldest window can be beautiful. The wreath stays still, the frost keeps growing, and she keeps her post. A small, quiet wintertime scene, all in blue and silver.
