Someone Lost a Glove in the Snow. The Abyssinian Found It First.

AI imageabyssiniancaught in the actsnow

A gray knitted glove has a new owner, and that owner has very large ears. A cinnamon Abyssinian sits in a snowy backyard, its warm reddish coat glowing against the white ground, with the stolen glove dangling from its mouth. The glove's fingers droop down one side, and the cat's golden eyes glint with a small, satisfied look, almost like a smile tucked behind the wool. Around it, a light layer of snow covers dry leaves and twigs, a clay pot lies on its side, and a wooden fence stretches across the background under a pale winter sky.

Abyssinians are among the most energetic and curious cat breeds, and they are known for exploring every corner of their world. If your cat spends time outdoors in winter, a few precautions help. Cats can get cold quickly, especially on wet or windy days, so they should always have easy access to shelter and a warm indoor spot. Antifreeze is very toxic and tastes sweet, so clean up any spills promptly. Before starting a car on cold mornings, a quick knock on the hood can startle out any cat that crept into the engine for warmth.

As for the glove, it seems to have been claimed as a prize. Someone in the house is going to have one very cold hand today, but this proud little hunter clearly feels the trade was worth it.
