A Cream Exotic Shorthair Sits Next to the Bread Loaf and Frowns

AI imageexotic shorthairbreadkitchen

A cream Exotic Shorthair with a flat, round face sits on the speckled kitchen counter, her big dark eyes turned slightly to the side and her expression deeply unhappy. Beside her, a crusty loaf of bread has a big hole torn in it, and crumbs lie scattered all around her paws. A glass of water, a dishcloth, and a bright window fill in the kitchen behind her.

Exotic Shorthairs are gentle, quiet cats, a little like Persians in a short coat, and they are famous for their sweet, teddy-bear faces. They are happy to lounge but are still curious enough to explore a countertop. Small bites of plain bread are not usually harmful, but bread is not a nutritious cat food, and raw dough can be dangerous because it expands in the stomach. If your cat eats something unusual, call your vet. Keeping the counter clear and offering a high perch of her own gives a safer view.

We will call her Biscotti. Her frown is part of her natural charm, and it is hard to tell whether she is guilty or just thinking. Her whiskers sit calmly, and her paws are tucked neatly under her. Whatever happened to the loaf, she has decided to let the crumbs tell the story, and she will probably stay for the rest of the afternoon.
