A Silver Tabby Has Whipped Cream on Her Nose and an Innocent Face

AI imageamerican shorthairwhipped creamcaught in the act

A dab of whipped cream sits right on the tip of a silver tabby's nose, which is a problem, because she is trying to look completely innocent. She sits at the edge of a kitchen counter with her ears up and her gold-green eyes locked on you, while behind her a pie with a flaky golden crust has been well sampled. Smears of cream trail over the pie dish and onto the wooden surface.

A blue plaid towel rests nearby, a bowl of onions and a set of keys sit in the soft glow of the window, and a cutting board leans against the wall. We'll call her Clover. Her silver stripes are neat and her whiskers are dusted with crumbs, and the cream on her nose says it all.

American Shorthairs are curious, adaptable cats with sturdy builds, and a counter is an irresistible place for a cat who wants a better view. Whipped cream isn't poisonous to most cats, but dairy can upset stomachs, and pie often contains sugar, spices like nutmeg, and sometimes ingredients like raisins or chocolate that are harmful. A small lick is usually fine, but keep dessert covered and out of reach, and call your vet if your cat eats a good amount or any of the unsafe ingredients. Give cats safer ways to enjoy the view, such as a tall cat tree by a window, and reward them with treats made for cats rather than human desserts.

Clover sits tall and serious, cream on her nose and not a sign of regret, ready to look you in the eye all day.
