Pale blue point kitten on a couch arm, tangled in stretchy white fake spider web decorations. 17 / 25

The Fake Spider Webs Were Meant for the Window. Somebody Got to Them First.

AI imagesiamese kittenhalloween decorationspet safety

The spider web decorations were supposed to go on the window, but someone got to them first. A pale, silvery kitten with soft blue-gray points on her ears and face sits on the arm of the couch, completely wrapped in strands of stretchy white fake webbing. Fibers stretch from her ears, cross over her back and dangle from her whiskers, and one wisp is caught right at her mouth. Her blue eyes look up with a mix of confusion and mild embarrassment. Around her, the living room is full of clues: a mini pumpkin on the coffee table, a lamp glowing, folded laundry and a water bottle on the couch.

This scene is adorable, but fake spider webbing is one of the more hazardous Halloween decorations for cats. The thin, stretchy fibers can wrap tightly around legs, tails or necks and can cause serious problems if swallowed, because long strands may bunch up inside the digestive tract. Cats, especially curious kittens, find it irresistible to play with. If you decorate with it, keep it high up, out of reach, or choose alternatives like paper cutouts. If you think your cat swallowed some, or you notice vomiting, loss of appetite or straining, contact your vet right away.

This little one will need some gentle untangling, but she has certainly proven one thing: Siamese-type kittens are just as curious as their reputation suggests.
