A Ragdoll Got Into the Flour and Looked Up With Her Face Dusted White
White flour dusts the nose, cheeks, and chest of a cream point Ragdoll, who looks up with round blue eyes and an expression of pure innocence. A flour bag sits tipped on the counter behind her, and white powder trails across the dark surface. A sink, a cloth, and a cutting board are scattered nearby. Her fluffy cream fur is so pale that the flour barely shows, except on her darker ears and nose.
Cats are curious explorers, and a bag of flour on a counter can be a fascinating discovery. Flour is not usually toxic in small amounts, but raw flour can carry bacteria, and breathing in a lot of powder can irritate the lungs, so it is best to keep it out of reach and clean it up promptly. Raw dough is more dangerous, since it can expand in the stomach, so call your vet if she ate any. Ragdolls are gentle and social cats who like to be near their people, which often means being in the kitchen. A stool or a window perch nearby gives her a safe place to watch the baking.
She seems to think the white powder is a very attractive look. A damp cloth will take care of the face, and the counter will need a wipe. She will remain unbothered, and her flour-dusted whiskers will stay adorable until the last brush.
