The shelters around here also put a hold on all black cats until November. It's sad and even worse is that it's not only people with specific fears/beliefs against black cats, but also just sick people that think Halloween is a reason to do harm to black cats; as if it were an excuse. Disgusting.

One humane society in my area is having a free cat promotion this month to get cats to homes. Not a good thing for October, but it seems we've had a WI cat population boom this year. They're everywhere.

It's the sad truth. One time Bobo slipped through the door on Halloween night. I was just devastated. Fortunately, he came back home as good as new. There are so many sickos out there and if I happen to see a black cat around our home Halloween night I will definitely try my best to get my parents to let me house it for the night.
