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 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 🙂

    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.

    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!

    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………..

    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.
