The Sphynx Matched the Tulips, and Then Sat in Them

AI imagesphynxtulipsliving room

The bouquet was supposed to brighten the room, and now it is a soft pink mattress for a Sphynx. She sits right in the middle of the petals with her wrinkled shoulders squared, her big bat ears angled outward, and her golden eyes turned to the side as though something far more interesting is happening on the other side of the room.

Tulips lie in every direction, some still whole with green stems, most reduced to silky pink petals. Behind her, a woven basket, a plant, and a blanket on the couch create a cozy, slightly cluttered living room, and sunlight warms her skin to a pale rose color that almost matches the flowers.

Sphynx cats have no coat to speak of, so they love warmth and often seek out soft surfaces, sunny spots, and laps. That is one reason a bed of petals would be so tempting. Their skin needs a little extra attention, and many vets suggest regular baths and keeping them out of harsh sun. Importantly, tulips are toxic to cats and dogs, especially the bulbs, so it is best to keep them out of paw's reach, and to call your vet if a pet may have chewed any of the plant. Pet-safe bouquets are a good alternative for homes with curious cats.

The cat has decided that avoiding eye contact is the best defense. With her pink skin and pink flowers, she is almost impossible to be cross with.
