The Halloween Party – and Giveaway!

October 26, 2015 By: Summer Samba95 Comments

I was fascinated by it all!

I was so excited about going to the Halloween party at the nearby veterinary clinic! It was held mostly outdoors and there were lots of dogs and I was the only cat, so I had to stay in my sling the whole time. Nobody got to see my dress, but I did wear my hat for the costume contest. Lots of people were thrilled to see a kitty in attendance (including a blog reader!) and I got lots of pets and attention.

I wanted to steal the spider but my human told me no.

There were all sorts of fun activities and goodies for the humans (I was disappointed there were no cat treats… or even dog treats!). There was face painting and these temporary tattoos.

My human wanted to take home the pretty orange and white cat but I said no

There was a haunted house inside the vet clinic… although I bet a lot of pets think going to the vet is kind of scary to begin with! My human and I only saw the first room — the cat room was run by a crazy lady (look in the bottom right hand corner and you’ll see there weren’t just cats in cages! The next area was dark and there was lots of barking and my human was worried I would get too scared, so we went back outside.

I don't think this dog was as happy as I was to be wearing a costume!

Finally the big moment came and we costumed contestants had to be judged! There were lots of dogs wearing outfits, like this guy in his Star Wars getup.

Notice the Modesty Paw placement

My human never did the chance to photograph this dog’s whole costume — not only was she Rasta Dog, she also was in a Hot Dog suit! Even though my costume wasn’t as elaborate as some of the others (like I said, my dress was hidden in the sling), I got a prize for being the one cat there!

It was pretty amazing, actually!

In fact, the prize package was even bigger than I am!

Can you believe Boodie was wondering if that was ALL?!

Here is everything spread out! As you can see, there are several cat toys, Zuke’s treats, a couple of cans of Science Diet Ideal Balance, a scratcher, a tunnel, a glitzy sparkly silver collar, and a Halloween collar with bells! That is a lot of stuff for a kitty who already has everything! And you know what that means!

Boodie says we can never have too many toys and treats but I disagree

I am having a giveaway! I kept back just a few things, but I am giving away the scratcher, the tunnel, the treats, two of the toys, the food and the silver collar! You can enter using the Rafflecopter widget below. If you have a problem with the Rafflecopter widget, let me know and I will enter you manually. The giveaway ends next Wednesday, November 4 — good luck!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Although this is a U.S. only giveaway, I will have one that includes my international readers soon… and there will be something special included for my newsletter subscribers!

I would wear this all day, especially if I got treats for doing it

You probably noticed I kept back the festive Halloween collar. I did that as a favor to the kitties that read my blog, since I know most of you would not want to wear it! I don’t mind it, and I love going places — and I know I’m the exception to the rule. In fact, my human was concerned I was getting bored in my sling and left the party soon after I got my prize… but I could have totally stayed longer! I kept looking out the car windows before she put me in my carrier for the drive home, and was bummed when both humans went to another party without me the next night! More on that party later — I think you will want to know all about it.

    Summer, you were clearly the star of the party. What I don’t understand is why you wouldn’t let your human take that orange and white cat home! 😉

    How cool that one of your blog readers was at the Halloween party to see you in the fur! Were the kitties in the haunted house for adoption? (We don’t think we want to adopt the one in the bottom right cage, though!)

    I’m glad you had fun at the party. I can’t believe they didn’t have cat treats either! Do humans only think of themselves?

    I love how big your eyes are in the picture where you’re looking at your prize.
