So, I decided to write you a little survival guide for Autumn, for all of you others who do share my anti-autumn attitude!
Enjoy the fruits of the summer
During summer all the plants were growing and later on harvested and stored for the winter. Even it is not snowing yet outside, nothing prevents from enjoying the harvest already. Do not wait until spring to use your goodies!

During autumn and winter, the sun does not show itself too often... You might up end being up inside without natural light for weeks! So when the wonderful light phenomenon appears on the sky and stretches its rays down to the earth, do not waste even a second from sunbathing! Just run there and lay down and let the rays touch your silky coat and absorb all the energy from it! Many of you humanslaves already know, that we, the cats, work with solar power! So do not expect much from us during days without sun!
Keep yourself busy
It is easy to get depressed by the cloudy days, and watching the autumn rain battering the windows day after day gets boring... So autumn is perfect time to do all those little tasks you have put aside. You can arrange your books by color (or author, or by series or or...), or start going through your closets! If you have a big kingdom to live in, this way you'll stay busy until the summer is here again!
Go for vacation
Take your friend, pack up yourselves and use your human slaves credit card and book yourself a nice vacation somewhere warm and sunny! To make the vacation more proper, remember to take a humanslave with you to pamper and serve you, as you never know if the destination has suitable humanslaves available.
Train your humanslaves
During this time of the year, most of the humanslaves do not even want to go out of the kingdom... so it is proper time to train new tricks for them. My favorites are "fetch me food", "entertain me" and "there is no such thing as a shower"
It is good time to test out all those fancy recipies from your book and internet to give yourself something nice to eat during the autumn storms. On the below picture Kira is demonstrating how to bake proper buns.
Proper clothing
Even our coats are quite warm... some extra clothing might come handy on the colder days. I do not mean to wear it! What are you thinking even?! But proper clothing helps to keep us nice and warm, when we can cuddle inside it.
Even if the cuddling happens when the humanslave is wearing it.. but at least this way I can suck all the heat out from my humanslaves and feel nice and warm and comfy!
Good reading
Reading is an excellent way of spending time, even during autumn. In modern world most of people have forgotten how it feels to hold a real book and travel to the far far away lands by imagination. Even humanslaves usually have the bookshelves full of books, I'd recommend you getting something like "how to pamper my cat", "good cookings for kitty" or then wait until my book comes out, and show your humans how cat should be treated!
Shopping therapy
At least inside the malls and shopping centers the weather is always the same, the lights are on and usually good company can be found. Just start your tour in the mall with your humanslave from the petstore, pick up few bags of goodies and maybe some catnip, and a new climbing tree, a nest etc... do not let your humanslave start shopping from the humanstores, as he/she will just end up spending all the money on unnecessary things like nailpolish, shampoo, soap, alcohol etc... and no, humanslave does not need a second shirt to use, they should grow such a nice hair as we have! Easier to groom as well!
Plan for summer
Even it looks to be so far away, plan for it, prepare for it and wait for the sunny and warm days to come. You can start by thinking of what kind of flowerfriends you'll be growing next year, or where to place the new climbing tree so it has unlimited access to the sun etc.
And if autumn depression takes over...
start your winter hibernation already. Just get up from bed to eat and drink and use litterbox but do not waste any extra energy for anything. Just half a year and it is spring again...
