15 Animals Who Are Psyched For Fall Weather

After too many scorching hot days of summer, the first day of fall is finally upon us — and our furry friends everywhere are embracing the looming chill of autumn. Animals in the fall might not be as psyched about pumpkin treats as we humans are, but they get the same thrill out of sweater weather (no matter how much they resist wearing them). Autumn is a glorious time to be alive, and animals are psyched to embrace their furry outer layer and watch the leaves fall.

Summer is a tough time for animals. With extreme heat and their inability to shed their coats and sip on cold blended cocktails, they suffer even more than straightened hair on a humid day. Since they can't speak, it's not like they can communicate their discomfort, but laying in front of the fan all day gets boring after a while.

Fall gives all non-human creatures a burst of energy and thirst for fun that extends well past the first fallen snow. They get to run and play in the fresh air without getting immediately overheated. And since humans start eating and cooking way more food, the world smells and tastes a billion times more delightful. There is also a much better chance that scraps will fall on the kitchen floor, sooooo score. Here are a bunch of animals (of all shapes, sizes, and species) who are super excited and ready for fall to begin.

1. The cat who could watch falling leaves all day, every day

Is it scary? Or is it beautiful? Both.
