A Persian Cat Wrapped Herself in a Curtain and Went Still

AI imagepersian catcurtaincaught in the act

Strips of torn curtain hang over the head and shoulders of a gray Persian cat, forming a perfect little hood. Two huge orange eyes peer out from the folds, rounded with surprise. The fabric trails over her front paws like a cloak, and a basket of laundry sits behind her against a plain wall. She looks like a very small, very fluffy monk at the end of a long day.

Persian cats have thick, silky coats and sweet, quiet personalities, and many are happiest in calm homes where they can lounge. Their coats need regular care, since a long coat can mat easily, and a gentle daily brush helps keep it smooth. Cats climb curtains out of curiosity, to reach a high perch, or simply because fabric begs to be shredded. Offering a tall cat tree near a window gives them a better lookout, and a scratching post in the same room redirects those claws.

Torn curtains can also hide loose threads that a cat may swallow, so it is best to take them down and repair them, and call your vet if you think she ate some.

For now, the little ghost is quite content in her robes. She may not be sure how she got here, but she is very certain the view is excellent. A soft blanket on the cat tree might become her next favorite hooded cloak, with no scissors involved.
