A friend of my human’s invited her to a pumpkin carving party. So of course the first thought she had was that I should do some poses the finished product. This is why I’m posing with this tiny thing. It’s the “before” photo.
The thing is, she has probably never carved a pumpkin in her life! She bought some elaborate tool kit, but wound up using a friend’s drill to cut off the top.
As you can see, everyone else carved normal sized pumpkins. Most of my human’s friends at this party were her heavy metal pals, which may explain why these Jack O’ Lanterns look so malevolent. Meanwhile, hers looks small and innocuous.
And here it is with me. And it still looks small and innocuous.
You didn’t think I was going to pose with this pumpkin without wearing anything, did you? We tried a few different looks. This pumpkin hat was the first. I think the logic (in my human’s mind) was that I was supposed to be “twinsies” with the pumpkin.
Continuing the pumpkin-cat theme, we tried the festive Halloween pumpkin collar next. This one’s always fun!
And of course, I couldn’t end my session without a witch’s hat! I wore this tiny one so that I didn’t overwhelm the tiny pumpkin. Or my tiny head.
So what did you think? Which look of mine went best with the pumpkin? Let me know in the comments.

I think your pumpkin is DARLING!!! I haven’t carved one in years, when I do I use those cheap-o orange cutting kits for little kids lol. Summer looks darling as well!
Somehow we can’t see your human using the word “twinsies.” I think she did a pawsome job but maybe next year she’ll carve a cat face or make a cat pumpkin.
Cool pumpkins!! I think the collar looks the BEST on you Summer!
Hugs, Teddy
Have to agree with everyone else. That collar is a winner.
This was a hard choice. I think I’ll go with the little
witch’s hat as best. I really like the collar though.
Great collective of pumpkin carvings!
We think your human’s pumpkin is very sweet. We like your pumpkin collar too.
“Small and innocuous” isn’t always bad, Summer !
Those are fun sweet Summer and I really like the one with the witch’s hat!
I love the twinsies photo! Your human did a great job.
Sorry Summer, I can’t choose. I love them all. The pumpkin is adorable. I prefer happy over scary
You would think small would go unnoticed but it actually stands out from the rest.
Wow! Summer, you look marvellous darling! Your Pumpkin is cute. And we think your Peep did an admirable job! We purrticularly LOVE your photo of you in the witch hat!
Your human did a pawsome job with that tiny pumpkin : the smaller it is, the harder it is to dig and sculpt. We like the Halloween collar the best ! Purrs
I think your little pumpkin is adorable. We tend to go for a fun Halloween, not one that’s creepy or scary. You look great in your halloween accessories but that collar seems to be annoying you a bit.
I like your pumpkin hat, Summer…and toasted pumpkin seeds are the very BESTEST treat for me!
I am with the others, I love that pumpkin collar!
Pumpkins are such a mess and very awful to carve…so anything that comes is swell done! Yours looks like the two we have here…to cook. They are pie pumpkins.
I think she did a great job on her pumpkin. It is not easy to carve a pumpkin and small ones would be really hard to work with. And you always look cute no matter what you are standing next too. XO
I like the collar the best Summer.
We like the collar a lot. Some of those pumpkins are skeery!
This is so cool! And what a cool pawty your human went to! Our mom says when we move and all of our stuff is on one place and she doesn’t have to go back and forth to storage we’ll do more holiday posing.
Those are some cool pumpkins! Your human did pretty good.
Dearest Summer,
The collar is the winner here; great photos.
Hugs,
Mariette
Cool pumpkin you have Summer!
I like the pumpkin collar best 🙂
