About this type
ISTP
Autumn Wind
I only go all out when it counts.
Like a brisk autumn wind, this no-fuss cat breezes in and breezes out. They’re not big on being fussed over, and they’re more likely to turn up beside you unnoticed than to come when called. Handy with their paws, they’re great at keeping themselves entertained.

- Bats a toy around alone in an empty room
Favorite game
Fishing a toy out of a narrow gap with one paw
Tips for bonding
Keep invitations to play short and sweet. Toys with hidden tricks that put their clever paws to work are a great pick too.
What Autumn Wind cats are like
Autumn Wind cats value their time alone, prefer familiar surroundings, act on their own judgment rather than seeking affection and change course with the mood of the day. On the four Cat MBTI axes they come out Happy Alone, Old Habits, Cool Cat and Free Spirit.
Like the brisk wind at the end of autumn, this no-fuss cat breezes in and breezes out. They aren't big on being fussed over, and they're more likely to turn up beside you unnoticed than to come when called. Handy with their paws, they're great at keeping themselves entertained.
Hand them a new toy and at first they just watch it from a little distance. The moment they figure out how it works, they start playing with surprising skill. When they're done, they head back to their spot as if nothing happened.
Typical habits
When a toy rolls into a gap under the furniture, an Autumn Wind cat fishes it out with just one paw. More often than not, they've solved the problem before you can lend a hand.
They're slow to come when called, yet once the house goes quiet, they appear out of nowhere to see what's going on. You may also catch them batting a toy around on their own in an empty room.
How close they like to be
Autumn Wind cats feel most secure keeping a comfortable distance from the family. Not too close, not too far: they know the spot that suits them best.
It isn't a lack of love, just a low-key way of showing it. When you sit down, they may settle a little way off, then after a while walk away without a word. Those short moments, added up, are how this cat connects with you.
Tips for bonding
Keep invitations to play short and sweet. Rather than dragging a game out, end it when they're satisfied, and they'll be happy to join in next time.
Toys with hidden tricks that put their clever paws to work are a great pick. Fishing a toy out of a gap or opening a lid to get at what's inside are right in their wheelhouse.
The same goes for petting. A few strokes and then stopping suits them better than a long session. Stop while they still want more, and next time they may come and bump their head against you.
If you live with an Autumn Wind cat
An Autumn Wind cat is a calm companion who likes a relationship without clinging. Respect their sense of space, and one day they may surprise you by staying beside you for a long, long time.
Because this cat spends a lot of time alone, keep an eye out for small changes in how much they eat or how they move. When a change worries you, check with your vet. Take your time growing this easygoing, comfortable bond.
