The Homework Notebook Has a Few Bite Marks, and a Fluffy White Culprit

AI imagenorwegian forest catnotebookstudy table

The spiral notebook on the table has seen better days, with its top pages torn and chewed into ragged edges. Beside it sits a fluffy white Norwegian Forest Cat with a tiny, guilty smile and bright golden-green eyes. Scraps of paper are scattered across the wooden surface, and a pair of glasses, a mug, a sprig of eucalyptus, and a knit blanket sit in the background in soft, warm light. The cat's thick white coat is full and plush, and her pink nose and whiskers are very close to the camera.

Norwegian Forest Cats are large, friendly cats from Scandinavia, known for their thick double coats and love of climbing. They are bright and playful and often enjoy games that involve pawing, pouncing, and batting small objects. Paper is a favorite, because it crinkles, tears easily, and moves when touched. Small scraps are usually harmless, but swallowing larger amounts can upset her stomach, so it is a good idea to keep important papers in a drawer and to offer safe toys. Regular brushing helps manage her long coat. If your cat swallows a lot of paper or seems unwell, call your vet.

She seems to have taken the old excuse a step further. The notebook did not get eaten by the dog, but it may well have been chewed by the cat. Her small, guilty smile suggests that she knows, and she does not seem too worried about it. A fresh notebook is easy to find, and a cat like this one is not.
