In general, cats don't have a sweet tooth, so
you may not have to be as diligent at guarding that bowl of Halloween candy as
you would for your dog. If your cat has a tendency to try to swipe a little
sweet candy or just wants to play with the wrapper, keep the bowl out of reach.
Chocolate is highly toxic to cats, and just a small amount can be lethal. Chewy candy can get stuck in the mouth. Hard candy can get lodged in the throat and cause choking.
Even if your cat doesn't have any desire to eat the sweets but just wants to bat around the wrapped candy, if there's a dog in the family it could pose an additional risk. To be on the safe side, keep all candy out of reach of kitty and make it a safe Halloween for everyone.
