Your pet wants you to read our newsletter. (Then give them a treat.)
While most holidays aren’t really made for cats, they are rooted in little moments of happiness, similar to those that your fuzzy friend provides you with on the daily. Halloween is no exception, and seeing cats of all creeds prance around in delightful costumes as simple as a furry lion to as topical as Britney Spears post-conservatorship definitely sparks joy à la Marie Kondo — hey, that could be a costume right there! Even if you aren’t taking your cat trick or treating, giving a little extra attention to their presentation for this spooky holiday might provide some necessary bonding time. Plus, your friends and family will eat that sh!t up. *RuPaul’s “Cattitude” plays softly in the background.*
As with all things, your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance. Be sure not to dress your cat in anything too tight, itchy, or a fabric that they can chew or choke on. Stay attuned to their needs and you’ll both have a great Halloween.
