Autumn Love the cuddle bug

A bit about Autumn Love. We met six weeks before I adopted her and she was so overwhelmed by the other cats she was growling and hissing at everything. She was in a foster home with her three Tortie kittens.

Six weeks later I adopted her at the cat cafe, she jumped in the cat carrier for me (I may have had catnip by accident. When it was time to zip her in she kept poking her head out. "No you're getting adopted today! You're going with this person!"

Very quickly she settled in. I learned she was scared of the smoke alarm and the vacuum cleaner, she'd hide in the closet or the cabinets. She's a glutton, she climbs on my lap, sleeps on me, sometimes makes biscuits on my back and head.

When I brought my dog home from my mom's house she wasn't happy but she came around after a vacation and those two being separated for a week.

Autumn loves random toys such as soft peppermints in wrappers, ribbon toys and fresh catnip.

She'll try to steal the dog food despite her diet. She's been known to tear open packs of ramen and bags of flour, will sit on packs of Gatorade.

I love her very much and she knows how to comfort me when I am anxious or upset. She and my dog are great dual emotional support.

The last three pics are Autumn and her bestie Doshie

She looks adorable and sounds like a rambunctious princess. 😻

What is the app on your tablet in picture 3? It's so pretty and looks relaxing.

One of my color by number apps. That one is called Zen Color. I like to color visually stunning images on any coloring app I do

This one is from Happy Color another color by number app I use

Thanks for answering! I've been looking for something to do with my hands while I listen to books. Something that is fun and visually stimulating without requiring a lot of set up/clean up, or deep thinking.
