The Newest Chef in the Kitchen Wore a Tiny Apron and Looked in Charge

AI imagewhite kittenchef apronthanksgiving

A white kitten with startling blue eyes stands on the kitchen counter wearing a small cream apron tied behind her back. Her little pink nose is up, and she looks ready to take charge. Steam seems to rise from a pan of roasted Brussels sprouts at her side, and a golden turkey rests at the back of the busy kitchen, with bowls, jars, and bread rolls scattered around.

A bustling holiday kitchen is full of things that can hurt a small cat: hot pans, boiling pots, sharp knives, and foods that are not good for pets. Onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, chocolate, and certain sweeteners are all on the list to keep away from cats. Many kittens love to follow the cook, so create a safe distance by giving her a perch or a cozy basket away from the stove, and do not let her walk on a counter while cooking is underway. White cats with blue eyes can sometimes have hearing difficulties, which is something to talk to your vet about. A kitten who cannot hear well may be startled by sudden movement, so approach gently.

Tiny aprons are best saved for brief photos, not wear during real cooking.

She is calm on camera, though, and she looks like she has been in the kitchen for years, ready to taste-test every dish in sight.
