A smiling silver-haired grandma in a green cardigan walks through a pumpkin patch beside a ruddy Abyssinian cat. 15 / 29

Grandma Loretta Came to Pick a Pumpkin. Saffron Came to Inspect Every Single One.

AI imageabyssinian catpumpkin patchautumn

Bright orange pumpkins dot the brown earth like scattered lanterns, and the big, tired leaves of the vines spread across the patch. Grandma Loretta strolls slowly in an olive cardigan, navy tee, and jeans, small gold earrings showing beneath her silver curls, smiling down at Saffron. The Abyssinian picks her way carefully between the vines, ears high and amber eyes curious, as if inspecting each pumpkin before giving her approval. A wooden fence and a few houses peek through the trees under a pale autumn sky.

Autumn is full of fun for curious cats, but some seasonal things are worth watching. Plain cooked pumpkin is sometimes suggested for pets in small amounts, but raw pumpkin stems and leaves are not something cats should chew. Rotting or carved pumpkins can grow mold, which can make pets sick. Garden areas in fall may also hold fertilizers or rodent bait, which are dangerous. If your cat explores outdoors, a harness and leash keep them close and safe, and a quick check for burrs and ticks afterward is a good habit. Abyssinians love exploring new textures and smells, so a supervised outing can be very enriching.

Fall is a season for slow walks and simple pleasures. Grandma Loretta has her pumpkins to choose from, and Saffron has a whole patch of new smells to investigate. Neither one seems to be in a hurry to head back inside.
