Halloween isn't just a spooky time for humans; it can be frightening and even deadly for cats. Keep your cat safe by being aware of possible Halloween dangers. If your cat isn't already an indoor-only cat, keep it inside, so it's not terrified by all of the Halloween trick-or-treaters, or worse yet, so that it doesn't fall prey to pranksters. With lots of scary noises and children in costumes shouting "Trick or Treat," even an indoor cat can become frightened. Many pets are lost each Halloween when they get scared and dart out of open doors, so keep your cat safe and away from the commotion by keeping it in a back room.
