A Devon Rex Sits Beside the Baseball Cap That Lost the Battle

AI imagedevon rexbaseball capporch

A faded blue baseball cap lies on the porch boards with a frayed brim and a badly chewed crown, and a cream Devon Rex sits next to it with a guilty face. His huge ears stand out to the sides, his wavy coat glows in the sun and his eyes look slightly to one side. Garden pots and a coil of hose are tucked behind him.

Devon Rexes have a short, curly coat, a pixie-like face and very large ears, and they are known for being curious, playful and fond of people. They often love to climb onto shoulders, and they like to carry things around. A soft cap that smells like a favorite person is an irresistible prize.

Hats and cloth can have loose threads, and swallowed fabric is dangerous for cats because it can cause intestinal trouble. Keep hats and clothing off the porch floor, and offer your cat a safe toy of his own. A feather wand or a stuffed toy without small parts is a good alternative. If you think he swallowed some of the cap, call your vet.

The cat's expression is one of mild worry, though he does seem fairly proud of his handiwork. The cap was a good one, he thinks, and now it has character. He is waiting politely to see whether anyone agrees.
