Keep Kitty Safe When You Greet Trick-or-Treaters

Most of us will spend Halloween night repeatedly opening and closing our front doors. I love to see the local children all dressed up, but I don't want my cat to escape, too. If your cat tends to run for the door, Halloween poses extra risk. She may slip out unnoticed while you're chatting with the ghouls and goblins.

The safest place for a Halloween door-darter is in another room until the last of the trick-or-treaters have come and gone. Don't take a chance, because once she's outside, with all the Halloween activity she'll likely run for a hiding place and not respond when you call.

As an added precaution, make sure your cat has ID. Since some indoor cats don't wear collars, the best identification is micro-chipping.
