With Halloween just days away, it is important to remember that more pets are lost on Halloween night and July 4th than any other day of the year.
Halloween can be noisy and very frightening to pets, even if you will not be opening your door this year. If you will be entertaining the little ones, a disoriented cat or dog may scurry out the front door while you are handing out candy to cute little ghosts, goblins, witches... and the occasional cat. Not only is the door a hazard, but off limits food such as candy abounds, not to mention all those fun discarded candy wrappers that crinkle just great and are a lot of fun for little paws.

Don't forget to take extra steps to ensure kitty stays in, and if your home will be open to trick-or-treaters, or you'll be having a socially distanced gathering, any knocking on the door and noise from revelers doesn't stress her out.
Consider keeping Fluffy in a room, far away from the noise, with some soothing music, and perhaps a spray of Feliway, Rescue Remedy or Spirit Essence “Safe Space.” Keeping your cats in a safe room will not only avoid one getting outside, but will also keep them away from tempting treats like chocolate which can make them seriously ill, or those fun, crinkly candy wrappers which can do the same.
