Fall is the purrfect time to sit back with a hot cocoa and soak up the silence.

Fall is different than summer. And not just in the obvious ways. We're not talking about the cold and the rain and the sweaters and pumpkin spice things, though all of that is nice too. We're talking about the vibes. People are… calmer during fall. Everything is a little bit quieter. Summer is sunny and loud. Fall is generally not. It's cold enough for us to want to walk around wrapped up in blankets, so people don't stay out quite as long, rushing from one indoor place to another. And the ones who do are not stressed from the constant heat, so they are just calmer. And that is purrfect. It's why fall is the best season, and I will fight on this hill.

Fall is the purrfect time to soak up the silence. With the rain gently tapping the window, with everything a little bit colder, a little bit slower, but not quite so cold and slow that it's unbearable, it's a good time to paws and enjoy the meowment. Breathe in deep, ignore the chaos of social media, and go home, cuddle with your cat.

For me, there is not much that can make this time of year better. My cat is cuddly as heck, the fluffy blankets are so fluffy, and the rainy weather is always strangely calming. Throwing in a couple of good cat memes never hurts though. It can only make things better. So, here they are, the peaceful but silly cat memes that I've chosen for today - the purrfect addition to an already lovely day, and the best substitute for doomscrolling on your social media.
