On Christmas Eve, One Kitten Counted the Snowflakes Outside
Snow is coming down thick and soft outside, and a seal point Ragdoll kitten has settled on the sill to watch every flake. She sits side-on, with her dark-masked face turned toward the glass and her fluffy tail hanging down. A sprig of garland curls along the wall, and a cream blanket waits just below. The rooftops across the street are already dusted white, and the whole scene has the hush of Christmas Eve.
Ragdolls are known as gentle, easygoing cats, and many enjoy quiet companionship. They often stay mellow around people, though each kitten has her own personality. Window watching is a favorite activity for most cats because it gives them movement, birds, and weather to follow, which is plenty of mental exercise. If your kitten loves a window perch, make sure the ledge is wide enough to sit on safely, add a soft cushion, and keep cords from blinds out of reach. Holiday garlands, especially tinsel or any that shed needles, are better placed where small mouths cannot grab them. A cozy spot for winter watching also helps indoor cats feel stimulated during long, cold days.
The darker points on her ears, face, and tail are a typical colorpoint pattern, and they come in as the kitten grows.
Right now she is perfectly still, the only motion in the room the swirling white outside the glass.
