A Birman Cat Was Caught Mid-Slurp With a Noodle Hanging From Her Mouth

AI imagebirman catspaghettikitchen

Noodles dangle from the mouth of a seal point Birman, whose blue eyes slide sideways as she tries to look as though she is not eating. The plate lies on the floor beside her, with tomato sauce splashed in bright red spots and a tangle of spaghetti still piled on it. Her dark face is framed by cream fur, and her white-gloved paws stand neatly on the tile. She appears caught in the middle of a very long slurp.

Birmans are gentle, affectionate cats with silky, semi-long coats and striking blue eyes. They are known for being calm and sociable, and they often follow their people from room to room. Cats are carnivores and do not need pasta, and sauces often contain onion and garlic, which are harmful to cats. If your cat eats food like that, call your vet. Human food also tends to be high in salt and fat, which is not good for a cat's health. Keeping plates away from table edges and offering cat treats during family dinners can keep her happy and safe.

She seems to be trying to finish before anyone arrives, and the noodle in her mouth keeps swinging. The kitchen will need a mop, and dinner will need a do-over. But the look on that soft face, half shame and half delight, is hard to resist.
