Chaz you absolutely right and in the UK we follow Halloween with bonfre night on November the fifth when we celebrate the foiling of the gunpowder plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament. How wierd is that celebrating terrorism from hundreds of years ago. Looking at our recent Governments perhaps Guy Fawkes should be invited back to enliven the proceedings there and wake them from their perpetual slumber! The activity involves burning an effigy of Guy which is strangely enough called a "Guy"on a fire and letting off fireworks. It's one of the activities the fire bragade and casualty departments of hospitals dread as injuries involving burns literally rocket up and the fire service have to damp down fires that have gotten out of control or have been set maliciously It's ahard time for pets because they are frightened by the noise and the season gives the anti social an excuse to through lit fireworks at animals, people and property and much accidental damage is caused to cars and roofs etc by falling spent fireworks rockets etc, A few years ago one broke the roof of my conservatory. I was not best pleased having to buy a new section of roof and scramble up ladders to fit it on a cold November morning! I usually played the stereo loud and left all the outside flood lights on to minimise the effects on the rabbits who lived in the conservatory( and they where also covered up with their thick custom made hutch covers to keep the cold out which also kept some sound out) and the cats and dog who lived indoors had the inside lighting full on with the music also going fairly loud some cats hid for the duration under beds or chairs and others carried on their normal behaviours as though nothing was amiss The Alsation curled up in her bed with my tuxedo cat curled up with her!

No problem at my place. All of my cats hide as soon as the door bell rings. Thanks, Cher, for the important reminder nevertheless.

I have a black cat. Black cats have been known to disapear on Halloween. People like to still them so kept them in the house.

A GOOD POINT YOU ARE MAKING...ANIMALS, FOWL, REPTILES, INSECTS... whatever KIND of PET is YOURS... they MAY BE distracted and ALARMED with the CONTINUAL CLIMATE of "HALLOWEEN".

I dressed up as a veterinarian for a Halloween costume party.
I had the lab coat.
I got a couple of stuffed animals
for patients and put bandages on them.
