A Kitten in a Witch Hat Perched on the Hay and Looked Over Her Shoulder
The hat is tall, black, and slightly crooked, and the ruddy Abyssinian kitten wearing it sits very tall on a hay bale. She looks off to one side, her ears tipped up, her golden eyes alert and thoughtful. A plaid blanket, a coat rack, and a lamp glow in the background, and a few pumpkins and leaves peek out from the corner of the hay.
Abyssinians often look like tiny wild cats, with warm, ticked fur and slim, athletic bodies. They are active and curious cats, and they tend to climb to the highest spot in the room. A hay bale is a fun perch, but make sure it's clean and free of mold, and that she doesn't eat it. Straw can also be sharp, so it's good to check that nothing is poking at her.
A witch hat is one of the easier costume pieces if it fits loosely and stays on without straps that choke. Watch for any chewing, and keep photo time short. This kitten sits so still it looks like she is practicing a spell. With her sharp, intelligent gaze, it's not hard to imagine her mixing a potion of milk and tuna on a quiet Halloween night. A candle flickers somewhere in the next room, and her whiskers twitch. Whatever spell she's working on, it seems to be going well.
