An Abyssinian Wears a Torn Curtain Like a Scholar's Cloak

AI imageabyssinian cattorn curtainliving room

Wrapped in a torn, frayed curtain, the cinnamon Abyssinian sits upright with her head turned in profile and her gaze fixed on something far away. The fabric drapes across her shoulders like a scholar's cloak, with loose threads dangling from its edges. Her tall ears point up and out, and her golden-brown coat glows against the soft gray cloth. Behind her, a window curtain lets in warm light, a shelf holds a few colorful items, and a basket and a pair of slippers sit on the floor. She looks ready to give a very serious lecture.

Abyssinians are lean, graceful cats that love to climb, explore, and investigate everything. They are intelligent and energetic, and they like to be in the middle of the action. Curtains are tempting because they sway, hang low, and offer a great climbing surface. To protect them, offer a tall cat tree near the window and keep curtain cords out of reach. Frayed fabric and loose threads can be dangerous if swallowed, so clean up scraps and call your vet if you are concerned. A play session each day helps use up some of an Abyssinian's boundless energy.

She is the picture of calm. The curtain may be in tatters, but she wears it like a cape, and she looks entirely unbothered. If anyone asks, she was not involved. She just happened to be sitting there, wrapped in the evidence, thinking about the view.
