An Abyssinian Climbed Into the Pumpkin Wagon and Took Charge

AI imageabyssinianpumpkinswagon

A cinnamon Abyssinian sits upright in a red wagon full of pumpkins, her slim body surrounded by round orange and pale gourds. Her ears are large, her coat has the warm ticked color of ripe pumpkin, and her golden eyes are fixed on something just beyond the camera. Behind her, an open door shows boots, a plaid blanket, and a denim jacket on a hook.

Abyssinians are known for being active, curious, and strongly attached to their people. They tend to climb and explore and may enjoy a wagon ride in a harness, with the right introduction. Because they are so energetic, a bored Aby may find her own entertainment, which is why puzzle feeders and tall perches are good ideas. When a cat sits among pumpkins, remember that they are not toxic, but a rotting pumpkin can grow mold, so replace ones that have been outside too long. A wagon on wheels can roll, so do not leave a cat alone in it. A calm, supervised photo is a wonderful way to enjoy the season, and a cat who loves to climb will usually be pleased to ride along.

The warm cinnamon coat matches the pumpkins so closely that she nearly disappears.

The wagon is parked, the pumpkins are loaded, and she is clearly in charge. One tall ear swivels toward a sound from the street, and the pumpkins rattle gently as the wagon settles beneath her.
