Keep Your Pets Safe On Hallowe'en!
- There will be a lot of scary visitors coming to your door. If your pet will be afraid, keep him or her confined and away from the action.
- Keep gates locked and keep pets where they can't get frightened or panicked by spooky noises or strangers.
- Pet costumes should be comfortable and allow for comfortable movement and breathing.
- Chocolate is toxic to pets. Also toxic: macadamia nuts, xylitol sugar substitute, and raisins. No sharing!
- Don't leave wires or decorations where they are likely to be chewed up. Pets are curious about all the new smells and textures and may want to play with things. Be sure to pet proof your displays.
HAVE A SPOOKY
BUT SAFE HOLIDAY!

DID YOU KNOW...
that black cats are the least likely to get adopted at the shelter?
Black cats have a special place in superstition but "Black Cat Syndrome" is actually real. Black Cat Syndrome refers to the phenomenon in animal rescue where black cats are the hardest cats to adopt out. They spend the longest time in the shelter as they are chosen last which means they are more likely to be euthanized or to get diseases related to crowding in the shelter.
|
Why is this? Most likely, this is not about belief in bad luck but is about the human preference for a cat with color. Some say it is because it is harder to read the expression of a black furred animal and it is certainly harder to get expressive photographs to show off in rescue promotions. Black cats are excellent pets and as affectionate and personable as cats of other color types. If you are considering a feline friend, don't go for looks; its personality that counts!
|
|
- In Scotland, the arrival of a strange black cat signifies coming prosperity.
- In Japan, owning a black cat is considered lucky. It is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors.
- In Germany, a black cat crossing your path from right to left is a bad omen but crossing from left to right is a good omen.
- In Europe during the middle ages, black cats were associated with witches, evil, and sorcery, hence their images in Hallowe'en decorations to this day.
