The Remote Went Missing. The Sphynx Sat Beside It, Looking Away.

AI imagesphynx catcaught in the actliving room

A grey Sphynx sits on a cushion with his wrinkled neck stretched tall, his giant ears pulled back and his pale eyes cast to the side. Next to him lies a black TV remote with one corner chewed to a ragged edge, and tiny bits of plastic and fluff are scattered across the fabric. A pair of glasses and a crumpled tissue lie on the coffee table behind him, and a plant sits quietly on a shelf. His skin is soft and wrinkled like a velvet map. We'll call him Wrinkles, and he has no regrets, only a bit of worry.

Sphynx cats look hairless, but they actually have a very fine layer of peach-fuzz. They love warmth and often cuddle under blankets or in laps, and their skin needs regular care, such as occasional baths to remove oil buildup, because there's no fur to absorb it. They tend to be social, energetic and attention-seeking, which can lead them to find their own entertainment. Remotes, with their smell of hands and buttons that click, can be tempting to chew. Chewed plastic can be harmful, so keep small electronics out of reach and offer safe toys. If a cat swallows plastic, call your vet.

Wrinkles is trying to look wise, as though he'd never touch the remote. But somebody will need to find a replacement before the next movie night, and the cat is not offering any clues.
