Peaches the Kitten Had the Best Seat for Trick-or-Treat Night

AI imageorange kittenhalloweenwindow

From a sunny window ledge, a fluffy orange kitten watches the street outside. Little trick-or-treaters in costumes are parading by, including a tiny ghost and a pumpkin, and the neighborhood is dotted with decorations. On the ledge near the kitten are a ball of yarn, some scissors, a mug and a heap of jeans, as if a craft project was interrupted by something more interesting.

Window watching is one of the best forms of enrichment for indoor cats. They see birds, people and passing events, which keeps their minds busy. If you have a kitten, a cushioned perch at a window can be a calming place, especially on a noisy night. Make sure window screens are secure, and keep any strings, scissors or craft supplies out of reach, because kittens are quick to turn a pile of supplies into a toy.

On Halloween, many cats feel nervous about the doorbell and the stream of visitors. A quiet room with a hiding box and a water bowl can help them feel safe. If the kitten prefers to watch from the window, that is fine, as long as she's comfortable and can retreat whenever she likes.

This kitten seems captivated by the show outside. We could call her Peaches, and she has the best seat in the house. The costume parade will end eventually, but the memory of it will keep her happy for a while.
