A Sphynx Cat Found the Treat Bag and Froze in Surprise

AI imagesphynx catcat treatskitchen

A gray, wrinkled Sphynx sits on the tabletop with huge, pale eyes and enormous ears, and right in front of her a paper treat bag has been torn open and tipped onto its side. Little brown treats are scattered across the wooden surface. Behind her, a plant, a gray blanket, and a set of keys give the room a lived-in feel. She holds absolutely still, as though movement would make her more guilty.

Sphynx cats have no coat, which means they feel warm to the touch, seek out cozy spots, and sometimes eat a bit more than other cats to keep their energy up. They are playful, affectionate, and very food-motivated. Treats are best given in small amounts, since extra calories add up quickly, and the bag should be sealed in a cabinet or a container with a latch. If your cat has eaten a lot of treats and seems unwell, call your vet.

We might call her Mumbles, a name that suits the quiet scandal. She looks like a very small, very wrinkled detective caught going through the evidence. Treats are all around, and she is not moving. If a cat could whistle innocently, she would be doing it right now. Her enormous ears are turned toward us, listening carefully, and she is ready for whatever happens.
