A Silver Cat Got Tangled in the Cobwebs and Stayed Perfectly Calm

AI imagenorwegian forest catspider webhalloween

Wisps of white stretchy cobweb have wrapped themselves around a silver Norwegian Forest Cat's thick fur, and she sits in the middle of the sofa looking at the camera with a calm, faintly amused expression. Her coat is long and fluffy, her golden eyes are half-lidded, and the web hangs from her shoulders like a lace shawl. Behind her, a bright window, a pile of clothes, and a cardboard box are visible in the room.

Fake spider webbing is a classic Halloween decoration, and it is also a real hazard for pets. The thin, stretchy fibers can wrap around a cat's legs or neck and can cause serious problems if swallowed, since they do not break down like food. If your cat gets tangled, stay calm, cut the web away carefully from her fur, and talk to your vet if she chewed or swallowed any. Better still, hang cobwebs high where cats cannot reach, or choose a decoration that is safer. Norwegian Forest Cats have thick coats that can easily hide small bits of webbing, so check her over carefully afterward.

This breed is often relaxed and patient, which makes it likely she is simply waiting for someone to help.

She wears the web with so much calm that it looks like it was meant to be there. Eventually someone will come with scissors and a treat, and she will stroll off, trailing a bit of web as if nothing happened.
