A Black Cat Froze in the Middle of a Spill of Potato Chips

AI imageblack catpotato chipsliving room

A tiny crumb clings to the mouth of a black cat who has just been caught. A glossy black cat named Inky sits in the middle of a scatter of potato chips with his wide green eyes locked on the camera. A shiny foil bag lies open beside him, and chips cover the wooden floor like golden coins. A sofa with a blanket and a few shoes sits in the background, looking on.

Cats are curious and clever, and a crinkly bag makes interesting sounds that attract their attention. Many cats like to explore bags and boxes, because they provide hiding places and strange smells. A cat can also be drawn to the salty, fatty scent of snacks, even though cats are carnivores and do not need chips in their diet.

Salty snacks are not healthy for cats. Chips contain a lot of salt and fat, and flavors with onion or garlic powder can be harmful. It is also wise to keep plastic and foil bags away from pets, since a cat can get stuck or chew the material. If your cat eats a lot of snack food or seems unwell, call your vet.

Inky sits frozen in the golden spill, eyes round, as if the bag opened by itself. A black cat in a field of gold looks very elegant, even if he is guilty.
