It looks like the Halloween season is starting early this year

[Murfreesboro]

My cats love Temptations treats and I buy them all the time, but I've never seen Halloween-themed cat treats at my grocery.

Statistically, I think there are more pet cats than dogs in the US, but that's because most cat owners have more than one, due in part to that "cat distribution system." We wouldn't have any cats at all if they didn't just show up at our house. My husband says we must have a kitty hobo sign in our carport. By contrast, I have never seen a stray dog in the 30 years I've lived here. Once in a blue moon someone's pet might get out, but the owner is always out looking for it in that case.

As a child I thought seasonal costumes for pets were cute, but my mother very much discouraged that. She said animals don't like being dressed up, and that it was really just for the owners. That animals should be allowed to be animals. So I've never tried it. I've never even been able to keep a collar on a cat. The ones I own won't tolerate that.

You're delusional that humans 'own' cats...they rule us.

Mau, I just now clicked on one of your links. Those Mix-ups are the very type I buy! My cats love them. But so far I haven't seen the Halloween label.

Fresh at Safeway this morning.

Also, I've had a St*rb*cks gift card in my wallet for over 2 years, so the pumpkin spice latte was basically free.

Oh, man, I've seen no pumpkins at all!

If it weren't the fact that there are fresh homegrown pumpkins at my sisters, I would have bought several.
