Tricks or Treats in the Pumpkin Patch

In case any of you forgot, Halloween is coming up on Wednesday! We've been sharing some doodled up versions of the resident furbabies in their Halloween costumes. Today is no different. Are you ready to see Thimble in her costume?


This was inspired by all of those pumpkin and jack-o'-lantern Halloween costumes for cats and dogs I've been seeing at our local pet stores. None of the furbabies here would enjoy wearing one, so I decided to make it a reality in a doodle instead. Thanks for letting me turn you into a pumpkin, Thimble!

Happy Caturday, friends!

Our Tip of the Day:

Do you want to give your furbaby an extra fun treat for Halloween? We're thinking most of you already know that pet stores typically offer festive toy options around the holidays, including Halloween. Nevertheless, we're reminding you to consider looking for the pet store's festive holiday section, or for festive options in the general toy aisle. If necessary and feasible, you can even use such festive new toys to help distract a furbaby who gets anxious or excited by the sounds and overall hustle and bustle of Halloween night festivities, such as trick-or-treaters visiting the house. Of course, if you are handing out candy, festive new toys should be given in a safe area of the home, away from the door. And, yet another caveat is to always check new toys for any potentially dangerous parts and pieces. You know your kitty or pup best, so when picking out new festive toys for them, always keep in mind their tendencies to chew on or eat certain toys. It's fun to be festive, but it's also very important to be safe.

That's a great way to put a Jack-o-lantern costume on a cat - much less blood loss - MOL!
