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

Whoa! That prize was super! Maybe I should start going out with TW. Nah! She wouldn’t go anywhere inneresting. I’d LOVE to win but you could keep the treats for another giveaway. MOL!
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! 😉
What a fun party, Summer. And we’re a little surprised you were the only cat there. But better for you…because that means you won the cat prize! Congrats!!
Sounds like you had a fun time. What a great prize too. I commented.
I’m like you Summer, I actually like dressin up.
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 would love to meet you in person you are so cool. Im glad i having a chance to win for my kitties!
Concats on your win, Summer! Now that’s a prize! You are the cutest pirate!
Summer, Love your costume. Too bad everyone at the party didn’t get to see your dress. You are always a most generous kitty, when you give away some of your prizes. Thanks so much for the giveaway.
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.
You looked so cute in your costume too bad people couldn’t see it. You are very sweet to share your prizes. And, I like that you let Bodie pose with you. Happy Halloween! Love Toby and LadyBird
Summer you are quite festive!
Congrats! Sounds like a lot of fun.
Thank you for trying to give this pawsome gifts Summer, but it looks like Boodie is quite hesitant go with your plans. And why Boodie are you not looking at the camera? We want to see your sweet face too.
Your so cute Summer! Such a shame that people weren’t able to see your full costume.
Congratulations~ and how sweet of you to have a giveaway with all those great prizes.
Wow, congratulations on that terrific prize! You are very brave to go to a party with all those woofies. You sure look great in both your hat and new Halloween collar!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs, Spike William
What a cool party, Summer! Concats on winning a big prize!
as always Summer you are so generous when you win stuff. paw hugs
Summer good job winning all that loot for being the only cat there at the party. It does sound kind of scary with all the dogs there. You are such a good girl.
Figures you kept the collar cause THAT is the only thing I COULD get on Cody!! lmao!!! The other stuff is too “girly” for a boy kitty………………..I am soooooo happy that you got such pawesome prizes!!!!! Good luck to all who enter, we can’t enter because of not being able to blog about other brands due to blackouts so we won’t be greedy!
BOODIE! You are surely a special kittie Summer. A party girl!
What a wonderful prize! Good for you going and being the only Kitty there! I love your Pirate costume–it’s so very cute on you!
What a shame you didn’t get to show off your dress. I think you are one brave kitty to be the only one among all those dogs. Your reward was very much deserved.
You always look good. Hope you got to show off the neat Halloween collar at another party. We would really enjoy chasing each other thru the tunnel and having a new scratcher. Hope we win!
That collar looks so good on you, Summer. What a great basket you won. It paid to show up, didn’t it! 🙂
wow – what a party!! that prize looks great…..
That’s a lovely prize and it looked like a great idea for your vet to do.
I just love seeing what Summer’s up to! And I’d like to enter the contest as well! I know my kitties back at home would love the toys
We love that you won a prize for being the only kitty, and that you are so generous to share your winnings! Your hat was pretty awesome.
Wowsa, what a fun party. Love the Halloween collar. So festive!
What a great way to spend a day!
Concatulations on winning Summer! Too bad they didn’t get to see your whole costume but we understand how that’d be with all those little dogs around. It’s nice you met a blog reader too!
Sounds like a fun party! You look great in that Halloween collar!
The Halloween party sounds really pawesome! It’s too bad there weren’t more kitties in attendance, but we know a lot of kitties don’t like being out, especially at the vet!
Sounds like a fun party, but not enough cats.
Too bad you couldn’t show off your dress too! This is one give-away my cats would enjoy winning – they are in desperate dire need of an additional scratcher…Fab photos, BTW.
Well I think you look GORGEOUS in that very scary – but lovely, too – hat. Too bad no one got to see your dress though. Bet it was beautiful, too.
Purrs,
Seville
That was some nice win and you are always the cutest sweet Summer!
I love reading your thoughts on the pictures and how you and your human keep each other in line MOL
love the collar.
Wow, you were the only cat there? You must have been the center of attention. Sorry you didn’t get to show off your dress but you gotta be extra careful around so many dogs, they lack manners. MOL. Glad you won that cool prize. Looked like a fun pawty. Purrs
What a fun party! The woofie in Star Wars costume is very cute 🙂
That prize you got is wonderful. Really, it’s huge!
Summer bravo for you for being the only cat Brave enough to go and you got a great basket too
Hugs madi your bfff
Sweetie,you are just the most amazing kitty! M says I probably would have been skeered.
Poor Summer didn’t get to show off her adorable pirate dress……well, you still got a prize and WHAT a prize package it is! I’m wondering why you were the only cat there?!?! I’m glad you had fun and I do think your costume is simply MAHVELOUS!
Love, Sammy
I was going to say that it was a shame you were the only cat, but you got a prize for it. That’s a pretty good deal.
Congratulations on winning. We wished you could have been fully seen too. Maybe there will be more cats next year.
Sounds like you had fun even with all the woofies there.
That was a really big prize too, compared to you. MOL!
Glad you had fun.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
We’re glad you won but we feel you kind of got cheated not to be seen in that pawsome dress. PS: four paws up for the Star Wars costume.
