Pressed close to the window with her front paws on the sill, a tiny cream Exotic Shorthair kitten gazes out at the street. Beyond the glass, small trick-or-treaters in costumes wander past, one carrying an orange pumpkin bucket, with neighbors' porches glowing behind them. Her round face and plush fur look soft in the late light, and a folded blanket and a cozy corner wait behind her in the room.

Windows are a cat's television, and Halloween evening offers a particularly good show. Kittens can feel shy about all the strange costumes, doorbells and voices, so a quiet spot indoors is kind. If your cat is nervous, give her a hiding place and keep her away from the front door, since a startled cat can dart outside. A microchip and a collar with a tag help if she ever slips out. Exotic Shorthairs are mellow, affectionate cats with a plush coat and a flat face, and many are happy to watch from a comfortable spot. A cozy blanket and perhaps a small treat can keep her calm.

Cloud looks relaxed and perfectly interested, as though she is judging each costume. Someday she might wear one herself, but tonight she is the audience. It is a peaceful way to enjoy the evening, warm and safe indoors while the night outside fills up with laughter.
