Dont let your black cat outside on Halloween!

I just wanted to warn black cat owners...
Although your cat is in danger of being injured/killed every day that they run free, halloween is even more dangerous because cruel people often purposely harm/kill black cats due to the superstitions.
Please keep your babies inside on halloween.

Oh no... I have a neighbor that I don't know but I know her/his cat... That cat is actually friends with me and he rubs against my leg. :l Hopefully the owners will keep their cats inside, I don't want any cat being injured.

Everyone, please do as Teeney has said. You don't want cats dead do you?

Add pit bulls (and dogs that may be confused for a pit bull) to that list too. Some dum-dum dubbed October 31st "National Kill a Pit Bull Day." I'm hoping and praying that it doesn't catch on, but it's better safe than sorry. lol I pitty (no pun intended) the fool who tries to lay a finger on my kids.

My kitties too. One of my bullies stays inside most of the time, but the younger one and my lab love being outside - may be a day to rain on their parade and keep them in. I honestly think Halloween is a good day to keep the animals in as much as possible anyway... Too many weirdies crawl out from under their rocks that day and the fact that its Halloween makes them bold.

Teeney - Thanks! Your baby is gorgeous too! lol I love the pics you have of him with your little one.

Rainbowbetta - Me too. It's times like this that I wonder about people. Primarily about how they are the same species as sane people. I have no idea why they believe that racism is wrong, but that it's ok to single out a color or breed of a species to treat less humanely than any other.

Yeah I heard a story about a black cat incident. The person let their cat outside and called for it later in the day (on halloween). And the cat didn't come. The next day they found the cat's collar in their mail box.

sounds like a real sicko got hold of that unfortunate cat. sounds like a perp who might appreciate being left alone and critically injured in some long forgotten drainage ditch without any medical help for miles around. pet abuse by their mean "owners" is bad enough, going after others' pets is just even crueler.

I always keep my cat in on Halloween, he's a tabby, but still...actually, the last time we let him out on Halloween about 10 years ago, he ended up getting locked into our neighbour's shed by mistake for 3 weeks. :/

I'm worried though...I've been feeding a feral kitten who lives at my dad's office and it's (dunno the gender) black...I'm really hoping nothing bad happens to it on Halloween, I'll be crushed.

I want to ask my dad f we can try to catch him and keep him in the office overnight, but i'm not sure if he'll agree to it.

Oh my! Thank for the information! My sister has a 6 months old american terrier pitbull. she's very adorable and her name is Deena. My two years old niece loves her! They are staying for two months. lol. They just came here from Hawaii... o.o

I'll be sure to keep my sister's pitbull, Deena inside for halloween and also my cat, Tego too. (my cat is in my avatar. c: )

It makes me so sick that people would do that to someone's pet.... sick people. jeez.


Thank for the information again!

i absolutely cannot STAND people that even SAY things bad about animals. animals are just like us, and they share the worl with us. they DESERVE respect and rights just like us, no matter how 'beautiful" or Pretty they are. They all have hearts, and are ready to give their love.

I cant even stand to watch those god-awful ASPCA animal abuse commercials, i have to change the channel.

To be honest, i dont even know how i'd react to someone actually abusing an animal. I do know i would go to GREAT lengths to teach that person a lesson the hard way, though.

Sometimes i think people should think about how these pets feel. With collars around their neck, people tugging on them till they cant breathe, restricitng their freedom. Rendering helpless by abuse.

Sometimes, maybe human-kind should just wear a collar and see how it feels.


Sorry to pour all my emotions out into this thread hhaa
But, this hopefully helps you guys learn in the furture how i can be when it comes to aniamls, and i dont take the subject lightly :)

It's a good thing my cat Raven is terrified of the outside world. She will be safe inside with me wearing her witch costume and flicking her tail in disgust with the fact I put that ugly thing on her again this year. I might be the one getting hurt this Halloween. But this is terible, black cats are my fav kind. My first cat was a beautiful black cat sleek and sassy named Bunks, then Salem, then Winifred, now my little Raven.

My BF and I officially adopted our black cat on Halloween 2 yrs ago. Interestingly, he was also named after the werewolf from Twilight, Jacob :roll: (I did not name him!! LOL, but his name ended up sticking with him).

So, he is a Halloween cat through and through :tongue:

Both my cats are indoor only cats though, so I am good. :)

I think it is amazing that you adopted, and keep your baby inside! :) what a lucky boy he is!
