Tonks Tuesday with a Used and Abused Cat-o'-Lantern

Recently, the kitties shared some flashbacks co-starring their beloved cat-o'-lantern basket toy. Back in day, the poor orange thing looked bright and immaculate. These days, he's looking rougher than rough.

Tonks is probably the kitty who loves that cat-o'-lantern the most. That said, all of the kitties enjoy it, and it shows. They especially love when catnip is placed inside of the basket toy and they get to shove their little faces in there and take a big whiff of the goods. Actually, you can see the paraphernalia all over the floor in that photo above, right next to Tonks and the used and abused cat-o'-lantern.

I'm positive Tonks will have more photos with that festive little guy to share with you all this spooky season. For now, though, have a terrific Tuesday!

Not So Spooky Doodle of the Day

Have you ever seen the Scream movies? Do you know the Ghost Face character in those? Today's new Halloween doodle stars a kitty version of that horror movie villain.

This is far from the last feline horror movie villain you'll be seeing this month. Can you guess what other kitty villains we might be sharing this spooky season?

Tip of the Day

Today's tip is an extension of yesterday's tip, when we reminded you to only put Halloween costumes on furbabies who tolerate or enjoy it. Now we're here to mention the importance of choosing safe and secure costumes for those kitties and pups who do enjoy wearing them. There are a number of considerations to make in order to ensure that a Halloween costume, or other item of clothing, is safe for your furbaby. For example, you of course have to make sure that there are no embellishments or other decorations on the costume that could be chewed off and ingested, as this could indeed be dangerous. You also want to make sure that no strings or other similar parts and pieces could lead to a furbaby getting tangled in the costume. What's more, make sure the costume is the correct size and fit. A costume with too small of a neck hole or with too small of leg holes could be not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous for circulation. Dressing up our furbabies can indeed help you and them get into the Halloween spirit, but it is more so important to ensure their comfort and safety.
