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.

Summer it sounds like you were a brave little kitty with all those dogs. Congrats on your prize! All of your costumes this year were just precious and I’m sorry your dress was hidden by the sling, I’m sure it would have been beautiful, just like you!! Thanks for sharing your prize…my Kiki would love it 🙂
Thank you for another generous sharing of your prize Summer! You are always a pawesome ambassador of cats at these mostly dog only attended events. If we win we plan to donate most of it to our local rescue.

Great prize pack for Callie. She’d love this.
What a cool prize! If we win we will donate it to Tabby’s Place!
More prizes are always fun!
Paw bumps,

Good for you being the only kitty there. You are so brave! Speaking of brave, our cat sitter just let me know that she actually saw our Mickey Mouser and he didn’t run away. That’s huge news at our house…
Happy Halloween almost.
It looks and sounds like a lot of fun. We think it’s really great how much you love going places and then we get to see the kitty world through your eyes because we aren’t that brave. Great pirate hat and the rasta dog is too funny. Thanks for sharing your bounty and the chance to win! Happy Halloween from all of us and our human!
That party looks like it was a lot of fun, and you make a great pirate. You look great in the Halloween collar. Maybe your human should get you collars in that style you could wear for holidays throughout the year.
Oh you looked so awesome in the sling! Wished my Vet clinic would do something like this! Thank you for sharing this prize with all your readers!

Summer, you are always so sweet to be thinking of us – and you look adorable in your collar!
Seeing Summer’s gorgeous face always makes me smile—thanks for the chance to win some great goodies!
My kitty would love the tunnel and treats! I probably don’t give him as many treats as I should.
You are one cool cat, for sure, Summer! Congratulations on that giant prize!
Happy Halloween, Summer! Great giveaway BOO!
Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Halloween!
Looked like a lot of fun! Thank you for sharing your goodies!! Hope we( 4 kitties & 1 doggie) win !!
Wow, you hit the jackpot Summer!
you are a beautiful kitty! wish i could give you a snuggle! thank you for the fun giveaway!
i did!
My kitty would love this!!!
Meow meow! Could not get the contest widget to work. I’m giving you my human’s email address. I don’t have one since I’m only a kitty. Meow! My human wants me to travel, but I’m too timid. She says it’s fun, but I haven’t had any good travel adventures yet. Yours looks like you enjoyed it! Meow meow!
Whoa! I’t sure looks like you hit the jackpot at the Halloween party over at your Vet 😀
XOXO
Summer, we think it’s so cool that you go so many places! As country kittehz, we will just have to live vicariously through you. MOL!
This sure looks like a good giveaway!
What a great prize package and how nice of you to share!
One of my kitties is social enough to take out and about but I don’t know what he’d think about a party at the vet’s office!
Such cute kitties and what a fun give-a-way.. and FB quite hiding the give-aways.
You’re extra cute in the pirate costume Summer!
Love the Halloween jester collar on you Summer. Thanks for another giveaway raffle!
Looks like you had fun at the party! Great prize you won.
My kitty Chanukah would not like to wear the Halloween collar. I think he’d keep batting at it.
Thanks again for another opportunity to win feline goodies! I have a question… I don’t tweet so I wont get any entry points for that, but does that really matter? Just wondering. Thanks and keep rolling that lint roller!
Don’t worry about it – it’s just one option out of many!
That was a great prize you won, Summer. It sure paid off to be the only cat in attendance. We’d love to be entered in your giveaway. If we win, Mom wants to give some things to our housekeeper’s cat. She already got him a cat tree and some toys, but he doesn’t have all the neat things we have so we want to share. His name is Tinsley! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
You are such a FAB CAT, Summer! My human takes me out to places on a leash just like you. Dogs don’t scare me one bit so I would have really enjoyed going to the Halloween party with you! I’m on the opposite end of the world from you but maybe I can represent from the east coast. I have a lovely Halloween dress that I will have on for when all the kiddies come for their candy. My older siblings think I’m crazy but I am just having a blast. Glad to hear there are other kitties out there crossing these barriers! Happy Haunting!! Cookie with J9Felines………..
Aww, what a fun party! The costumes were cute. When I went to Target last, I was tempted to get a pair of ewok ears for my kitty.
Super cute kitties! My fur babies would love all those toys.
You sure enjoyed yourself we think!
And how you scored!! OMC!!
That collar looks good on you:))
We thank you fur sharing the rest with us all, so we have a chance to enjoy some of it too!
I’m glad you went! It looks like an high old time was had by all!! We will share the giveaway Summer!!!
You are braver than we three when it comes to partying, Summer! What loot you snagged, too!
Way to proudly represent the kitties! Your hat was pretty spectacular.
That’s a great prize package and it’s nice of you to share it with one of your readers.
I wouldn’t want my vet having an open house if my kitty were staying there, but I guess everyone made it through the excitement. You look very cute in your new halloween collar.
What a pretty pirate you are!
