The whimsical season of pumpkin spice, homemade soup, and holiday cheer is among us. The days are starting to get shorter and cooler, prompting evenings curled up with a good book, a cup of tea, and of course - your cat! If you’re like me, you might wonder if your cat can enjoy the seasonal changes too. Wouldn’t it be cool for cats to experience the excitement of fall like we do?

Autumn can be an exhilarating time for outdoor-loving cats. 

As the leaves fall and flowers stop blooming and turn to seed, your feline friend will have an abundance of new territories to explore. Every bush, grove and flower bed invites your cat for an adventure. Crunchy leaves, pinecones, acorns, and sticks provide additional entertainment, transforming your backyard into a new and mesmerizing playground.

But what about indoor loving cats?

Amidst the changing seasons, various critters navigate their surroundings. While some continue to roam outdoors, others seek shelter in the nooks and crannies of your home, of course, unaware of the resident cat. Since many cats have sharp hunting instincts, they become particularly alert during the fall season. Knowing this, you can expect your cats to spend more time prowling around the house looking for little “visitors”. This natural behavior is a testament to their instincts!

Some cats are just born cuddlers.

As the daylight diminishes, you may notice your cat trying to look for sunny spots and basking in the sunlight as often as they can. With the shift in seasons, cats tend to seek warmth and comfort, which may lead to increased sleep patterns and make them more prone to cuddling. If you enjoy being comfy and cozy, it sounds like you and your cat will have a lot in common. As the temperatures drop and days grow shorter, there is nothing more relaxing than curling up with your feline friend! 

No matter how you choose to enjoy this fall, time spent with your cat is sure to be unforgettable, filled with love and contentment.
