Best Halloween Cat Costumes
This year’s popular costumes feature several hot items especially movie characters. But there are always some classics that make the list as well. Costumes are only recommended for pets that really enjoy them. Please don’t force a costume on your pet if it is not something they like.

This is always a favorite– especially if your cat has that loin colored fur. The loin mane is available in several different sizes. It is made especially with comfort in mind to help your cat want to keep this mane on longer.

Halloween Pet Safety Guides
1. Make sure Pets are inside— especially black cats
Always make sure your pet is inside on Halloween. With so many trick or treaters out and about it not only scares your pet, but them as well. Also, along with trick or treaters comes many cars. I can’t think of a worse way to remember the holiday then to lose your beloved pet in an unfortunate way.
Once you have your cat inside, put them in a comfortable room away from strangers while trick or treating is going on. A lot of noise with the doorbell ringing and stranger smells from the neighbor may cause undue stress and anxiety for your pet.
Note: Black cat owners— you especially should bring your cat inside for about a week before and after Halloween. Black cats are a symbol for the holiday and can only lead to trouble for those looking for it.
2. No Candy!
Especially chocolate! Keep all candy and other sweets out of reach so that your lovable pet doesn’t get a hold of it. Don’t spend Halloween night in the vet’s office! Put those treats up!
If you do desire to give your pet some treats the best thing to do is make your own! Check out these tasty treat for your cat! Also, these would be great to hand out to other dog or cat trick or treaters.
3. Keep pumpkin and corn out of reach
Speaking of keeping candy out of reach— make sure that pumpkins and corn is also out of reach as well. Curious cats love to try new things to eat. Don’t let your display get ruined and you find yourself dealing with a sick cat.
4. Keep a Well Lit Area
This is good to keep in mind on every night not just Halloween. Always have a well lit area for trick or treaters. If you plan to go out with your pet make sure you bring a bright flashlight and it probably wouldn’t hurt to put a glow stick around your pet’s collar safety.
5. ID and register
Above anything else— make sure your pet is properly ID’d and registered. There is a lot of activity going on this time of year so having the proper identification will go a long way if your cat accidentally gets out.
As always have the happiest and safest of Halloweens and enjoy your festive weekend!
