Yeap
it is this time of the year once again when humits try to scare
themselves by dressing up in silly costumes (and even try to dress up
their kitties too...tsss tsss...Shame on you humits, you know who you
are!) and demanding to be given free candies or sweets (wherever!).
If these silly humits really want to know how to get something
without the need to demand too much for it they should ask their
kitties for some advice, we are experts on the matter, he, he.
Nevertheless
since it is a silly humit tradition which can endanger us, kitties
then they are a few things that humits can try to do to keep their
kitties safe!
First
of all they should try and Keep your kitties indoors
If
you have indoor/outdoor kitties keep them in. If you have outdoor
kitties – preferable – keep them someplace safe for the night.
This time of the year animals/pets can mistreated, stolen, injured
or even worse killed!
Also
try to keep your kitty in a safe room perhaps away from the front
door with plenty of fresh water, food, litter tray, comfy bed and
favourite toys especially if you are used to get a lot of
trick-or-treaters. Strange people appearing at the door wearing scary
costumers can stress and scare your animals
Keep
any Halloween lights out of the way so your kitties can't get to them
and chew them: Us, kitties, are naturally inquisitive and are likely
to try to explore anything new and unfamiliar.
Don't
leave a lighted jack o' lantern unattended around kitties or other
animals. Accidents can happen and a swish of a tail can start a fire.
We, kitties, love to climb up on tables and counters and can cause
fires or even burn ourselves!
Also
and very importantly most kitties don't like putting on costumes
and many animals stress out when their humans dress them up. If your
animal is fine with it and you do put your kitty (or doggie) in
fancy dress, make sure first of all that it's safe and it doesn't
obstruct hearing, movement, breathing or sight.
And
finally and very importantly don't get tempted to give to your
animals any Halloween candy: Chocolate is toxic and lollipop and
candy-apple sticks can get stuck in an animal's throat or perforate
the stomach or bowels (I was forced to add this by my humit to make
things clear, I purrsonally like all treats...)
Finally
to all humits and kitties:
Have a great and safe Halloween (Samhain)!!!
