There is a saying that "autumn cats are ailing cats". Thankfully this now only refers to outdoor cats/kittens. In the Fall, outdoor cats/kittens have less resources due to the cooler weather. This can cause increased fighting over food, more joint pain for older cats, and potential stress or illness from the weather.
Outdoor female cats often give birth to smaller kittens in the Fall than in the Spring because they concentrate on their litter and do not focus on their own health so eat less etc. Thankfully indoor cats don’t have these types of problems no matter what time of the year they have their litters including in the middle of winter. Not to mention, we humans tend to give them anything they want when they want it LOL.
Thank you @Toa and Ross
for helping me with this fact and for sharing two of your boys , who were born several years ago, who were part of a Fall litter as our models this week.
