Why This Hay-Day Kitten Is So Cozy

The kitten sits with its tail curled around it, right in the middle of a hay pile with grasses and grain stalks poking out. It has fluffy fur on its chest and cheeks, long whiskers and a friendly sideways glance. A wooden barn with windows and a big door stands behind it. The hay is made of big, spiky shapes that fill in fast.

All About Kittens

Kittens are born with their eyes closed and open them after about a week. Grown cats sleep or doze 12 to 16 hours a day โ€“ and a hay pile is a perfect spot for it. Cats use their whiskers to feel whether theyโ€™ll fit through a gap. On farms, cats are real helpers: they keep mice away from the barn and the animal feed. They also see much better than people in dim light.

Fun Ideas for Your Finished Kitten

Glue real straw or yellow yarn onto the hay pile for a picture you can touch. Or make up a story about what the kitten discovers inside the barn.
