Fiona Watched the Trick-or-Treaters Parade Past From the Window

AI imagescottish fold kittenhalloweenwindow

Perched on the windowsill with her small folded ears and big golden-green eyes, a silver tabby kitten looks out at the street. On the sidewalk, children in costumes parade by: a witch in a purple hat and cape, a small pumpkin, and a tiny ghost. Fall trees glow orange in the background, and the porches along the street are decorated with pumpkins. On the sill beside her are a mug, a potted plant, and a plaid blanket.

Windows are like television for kittens. Moving people, birds, and cars give them hours of entertainment, and a window perch with a cushion is a great addition to any home. For a kitten, watching trick-or-treaters from a safe spot indoors is the best way to take in the excitement without the stress of strangers and noise, which can be overwhelming on Halloween night.

Many cats and kittens are best kept in a quiet room on Halloween, away from the front door. Doorbells and costumed visitors can startle them, and an open door is a chance to escape. Make sure she has water, a bed, and a toy, and consider a gentle background sound like soft music. A collar with a tag and a microchip are helpful just in case. We will call this watchful kitten Fiona. She sits calmly, tail tucked, and takes in every costume with wide, careful eyes.
