Mittens the Scottish Fold Gets Wrapped Up in the Knitting Basket

AI imagescottish foldyarnknitting basket

Loops of cream yarn run across the grey Scottish Fold's shoulders and paws, and the wicker knitting basket beside her has tipped over, spilling a pile of balls onto the table. She has turned her head away, folded ears flat, and she looks past the camera as if there is something far more interesting going on over there. A paper bag and a plaid cloth sit in the background, and the room is quiet and warm.

Yarn and cats seem to go together in everyone's imagination, but in real life it can be dangerous. Cats can swallow string, yarn, and thread, and these can cause serious trouble inside the digestive tract. If your cat eats yarn, or if you see it hanging from her mouth, do not pull on it, and call your vet right away. Keeping craft supplies in a closed container is the best protection, and there are safe cat toys that give her something to bat and chase without the risk. Scottish Folds are sweet, gentle cats, known for the folded ears that give them an owl-like look, and they tend to be quiet, affectionate companions. They love a good play session.

We will call her Mittens. She has made a very warm sweater, if only for herself. The knitting project has been delayed, but the cat is a very good model.
