The Confused Cat-o'-Lantern

Today we have a bit of a doodle to share with you. After all, it is the day of Athena's always fun Caturday Art blog hop.


Today's particular doodle stars, yet again, a cat-o'-lantern. This time around, though, said cat-o'-lantern seems to be a bit confused. Or, perhaps this here human is just confused?


Around here, our favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas. That means that we always enjoy us a festive viewing of The Nightmare Before Christmas. In fact, that's the movie we were watching the other night when the human here decided to scribble up this confounding doodle

What do you think? Is mixing Halloween with Christmas just downright naughty? Or is a holiday mashup permitted this time of year?

Oh, and one last thing. When we asked you all if you liked our haunted house header or our cat-o'-lantern header better for Halloween, we ended up with a bit of a split in the polls. So, we're just going to give each of them a turn! In case you hadn't noticed, we are now on the cat-o'-lantern doodle of a header.

Happy Caturday to all!

Our Tip of the Day:
As you all certainly know, water intake is crucial for our furbabies. That being said, consider that when the weather outside gets cold and the furnace inside begins running, things can get a bit dry indoors. Your kitty or pup's water bowls might run low more often due to increased evaporation if the air indoors is dry from the furnace. Or, the water bowl might need filled more often if your furbaby is getting more drinks to combat the dryness. Either way, do be sure to check and refresh the water bowls often, especially in a dryer atmosphere. To help keep things comfortable and moist, you can also consider using a humidifier in the home. This can help combat dryness overall when the furnace is running, including helping with dry skin and coat. Water intake is important to consider not only in the hot summer months, but also in the cold winter months!

Oh, I love The Nightmare Before Christmas! It is one of my favorite movies, first because the animation is great, and second because it combines my two favorite holidays. So I think your mashup is perfect! :)

I love it! Confession time: I put a Santa hat on a pumpkin I picked up at the dollar store. I got the idea from a Hallmark Channel ad and thought it was just hysterical!

I love your doodle, you combined my 2 favorite holidays :) Excellent tip, water is so important.

Nah! We still have some Peeps' bunnies around so I'm sure they'll get Santa hats soon enough. Our Venta keeps our air nice and moist! (disclaimer: we have an affiliate link on our blog)

Mom hangs some Christopher Radio Halloween-themed ornaments on Our Christmas tree. That's as close as we get to a mash-up around here. Another cute doodle, and we did notice the cat-o-lanterns back up as the header. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

Funny you mention water intake; Chuck surprised me yesterday by begging for me to turn on the water faucet in the bathroom. I did so, and let him drink, drink, DRINK! I think he was just trying to companionable, but we used to play the faucet game when both Angel and Chuck were younger.

Whatever header is there now is my favorite...though its nearly impossible to pick a favorite ANYTHING from all your adorable creations.
