I already knew I’d adopted a bold little guy by the time Bud’s first Halloween rolled around, but his friendliness on that night gave me a new appreciation for how special he is.
Starting from that first Halloween in 2014, Buddy has eagerly participated each year as my assistant, rushing to the door at every knock.
He likes to sit on the threshold of the front door to greet the kids and check out all the interesting costumes. In turn there’s always a mom or a kid who makes a fuss over him, and he loves the attention.
Whether your cats are your little Halloween helpers or retreat to a bedroom and dive under a bed until the last knock at the door, Buddy and I wish you a happy Halloween.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to rearrange the candy bowl so the Reeses peanut butter cups are buried under Milky Ways and Hershey bars. For safety purposes, of course, not because I want to make sure some are left over for me when the trick or treaters fizzle out…

He’s something special, alright. But then, YOU knew that.

He has roared and flexed for the trick or treaters so far, except one girl dressed as a cat. He spared her out of magnanimity.

Hope you guys had a happy Halloween, and that Little Buddy had something special on his dinner plate while you were polishing off your secret supply of peanut butter cups. Nobody knocked at our door last night (Halloween’s not such a big thing over here) but two or three households around here used it as an excuse to set off explosive volleys of fireworks. I was worried for the welfare of our visiting cats, but they both turned up this morning as if nothing had happened. Their appetites were as huge as ever…much like yours and Little Buddy’s, methinks!

Glad to hear Malteser and Caramel weren’t scared off by the fireworks. Nothing can deter them from second breakfast!
TBH Halloween’s not the way it used to be here either. When I was a kid, the streets would be packed with kids in groups going door to door, no chaperones, for hours and hours until our bags were bursting at the seams with candy. Now it seems like most kids don’t even go trick or treating anymore and the others only go for as long as their parents will allow them.

My parent’s had a long-haired tuxedo cat who would sit on the porch, off to the side, to watch the tricker or treaters. Every once in awhile, she would move. The kids (and adults) loved it because they thought she was part of the decorations.
