This Halloween Are Your Pets Joining in the Fun?

Include your pets in the Halloween festivities by dressing them up in cute (or scary) costumes made just for them. You can go simple with a witch’s hat for kitty or some angel wings for that mischievous mutt.

Or, you can go all out with a full costume for your pet such as Batman the Dark Knight Joker dog costume featuring faux arms, shirt, pin-striped pants and a joker wig.

A small dog, such as a Shih Tzu or terrier will look cute in the Daisy Bee Dog Halloween costume. It’s yellow and black with a tutu, daisy flower and tiny wings and fits perfectly and easily around your pet’s tummy.

If your kitty acts like a princess, she’ll be right at home in the regal Princess Cat Halloween costume. Made of sheer tulle fabric, the "ball gown" is ruffled and can be easily put on or taken off your kitty with the Velcro neck and waist fittings. You’ll want to take lots of photos of your princess kitty to share online and off. For cats of more stronger character you can choose Cat From The Hell pet costume.

The Wonder Woman Deluxe Pet Costume is perfect for that "brave" doggie who would take on the world for her master. The costume comes with a cape and headpiece along with the jumpsuit, belt and arms.

Your dog doesn’t have to be Toto, Dorothy’s pooch in "The Wizard of Oz," – she can actually be Dorothy, herself, in the Wizard of Oz Dorothy pet costume. She’ll be precious in her blue and white gingham dress as she holds a basket with faux arms. A pigtail hairpiece completes the look for Halloween — and lots of photo ops.

Halloween is coming and you are planning on celebrating Halloween. Are you looking for creative and interesting costumes for your kids, yourself and, of course, Halloween pet costumes for your dog or cat?  You want your pet to share fun with you.  It will be great time.
But do you know about the origin of this festival? If not, have a look at the history of Halloween. 

Halloween -  Where Did It Come From?

For years now, families – particularly in the US – have struggled with ever-increasing bad effects of a night spent exalting horror. Hospitals and authorities advise that parents examine or x-ray treats and that people be in their homes by 10 pm. Candies are poisoned, properties damaged, and vandalism has increased, all in the name of Halloween.

Halloween is considered a typically American festival and a fairly recent one – since America itself is a recent entrant in the annals of world history. Folks are happy enough to put on outlandish costumes and go trick or treating, but few will have paused to reflect on the origins of this slightly macabre revelry. It would be foolish, of course, to attribute it to the Puritans who came over on the Mayflower – they would have been horrified at what they would have considered pagan hedonism. So who started these semi-sinful shenanigans? Some conservatives would doubtless like to lay it at the door of godless Democrats.

Modern day Halloween has become a mixture of several religious practices and a children’s holiday.

However, a look at the history of Halloween will illustrate how mixed up this confusing holiday has really become.

The origin of Halloween dates back before Christ. The Celts, who lived more than two thousand years ago, in the region that is now Ireland, Britain and Northern France, celebrated their New Year on November 1st – which they called the feast of Samahin. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest season and the beginning of the cold, dark winter – a time of year that was associated with death.

The Celts’ mythology taught that with the coming of winter, came a night in which the spirits of the dead could freely roam about with humans. Some of these spirits would inflict suffering and violence upon man. The Celts believed that the presence of these supernatural beings on earth made it easier for their priests – known as Druids – to make predictions about the future. For a people who had not yet discovered science, these predictions were an important source of comfort and guidance during the long, dark winter.

To appease the spirits and the gods that were worshipped, the Druids would erect huge bonfires and put out their best food offerings on the doorstep. Celtic priests would also offer sacrifices, animal and human, to the gods to ask for a return of the sun and in hopes that the gods would chase away the evil, frightening spirits. Often, the Celts would wear dreadful costumes, hoping to fool an evil spirit with the disguise. There are practices from the history of Halloween that are still being practiced today.

By 43 A.D., the Romans had conquered most of Celtic territory. During the four hundred years that they ruled over the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic feast of Samahin.

The first was Feralia, a day in late October, when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the souls of the dead into the next world.

The second was to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the Apple tree – and the incorporation of this celebration into Samahin is probably the origin of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

By 800 A.D., the influence of Christianity had spread to Celtic territories. In the Seventh Century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1st as All Saints Day, to commemorate Catholic saints and martyrs. The pope was probably attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The holiday was also known as All Hallows Eve, which later became Halloween. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades and dressing up as saints, angels and devils. (Trick or treating is exclusively a modern day Yankee add-on).

While the history of Halloween explains much about where modern day Halloween customs come from, (the origin of Halloween customs were brought to this country in the 1800′s by the Irish), what about the modern day practices of the occults?

Occults find their rituals associated with the same source, a time when the dead can easily communicate with the living therefore making divinations and sacrifices during the fall season opportune. In truth, the origin of Halloween has its root in Satan, the author of deception. "…. for he (the devil) is a liar and the father of it." (John 8:44)

It is interesting how much modern day American practices and modern day witchcraft have in common with the ancient beliefs of the Celtic people – although these days Halloween has become more of an excuse to have a good time. The religious significance has become obscured and virtually forgotten: which is probably just as well. Deutronomy (verse 17:10) tells us "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through fire, or that useth divination or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch." Reflecting on that grim pronouncement would take all the fun out of it.

This site can help you to make right choice. You both will be happy and have fun.

But did you hear the story how cats have been treated long time ago? No?

Then read this article. 

Halloween Cats

Once upon a time it was believed that black cats were the devil or consumed by evil spirits. For more information about Halloween cats, read on.

The wind was making weird sounds this full moon night. It blew against the trees pushing with all its might in an effort to pull it out of its roots. But the trees stood steadfast and moved their branches about, as if to scare the wind away. There further up the hill along the dark and deserted road, was a hut. Outside the hut sat an old lady with 5 children surrounding her. They looked at her with anticipation and jaws open wide. She was not concerned about them at the moment, instead she stared at the logs that had been collected in front of the hut; then she looked around and stared at the sky and in a loud and clear voice said, "I command you to stop blowing." At that very instant, the wind stopped blowing and everything stood still. Slowly she stretched her long fingers towards the logs and lit them by striking her fingers. Then she cleared her throat and began to tell the zealous listeners, the story of Halloween and the significance of cats.

Halloween, she began, was originally the New Years Eve of the Celts also known as Winter’s eve or the eve of Samhain. At this time people believed that the dead or disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies which they could possess the next year. Of course since the people who were alive did not want to be possessed by the lost souls, they would make their homes cold and inhospitable and wear ghoulish costumes and parade around the city making noise in order to frighten the spirits away.

Slowly she moved on to cats. Cats, she said were worshiped by Gods in Ancient Egypt, later on this creature was persecuted. Regarded as evil creatures, it was said that their teeth and breath were both poisonous. Even the hair of a cat could suffocate an unsuspecting peasant who was foolish enough to swallow it. Being secretive nocturnal animals further convinced people that they were the supernatural servants of witches or even the witch herself if she were capable of shape shifting.

The earliest record of cat persecution was in 962 A.D, in the northeastern town of Metz in France. It was the second Wednesday of Lent and the ceremony of Cat Wednesday was held in which hundreds of local cats that were believed to be witches in disguise were burnt alive. The official persecution was initiated by Pope Gregory IX, which lasted for the next eight centuries. After that Pope Innocent VIII issued another papal bull in 1484 that condemned a witch’s cat and said that it was to be burned alive with her at her execution.

Witchcraft and magic were associated with the black cat. It was believed that the Prince of Darkness himself borrowed the coat of a black cat to torment his victims. The scenario is the same in some cultures even today. During the 16th and 17th century 100,000 witches were executed in Germany, England was not far behind with 30,000 and then came along France with a further 75,000. With the death of cats the rodent population thrived. It was at this time that the importance of cats was recognized and it was suggested that they would only be exploited to destroy the vermin population and never shown any affection.

In the war against sorcery many heinous tasks were committed against humans and felines. It was in 1712, that the last execution of a cat for witchcraft took place. Thank God for that!

It’s all about the cats!

The winner will receive an assortment of goodies, including a package of Party Mix cat treats, cat Halloween socks (womens size), a shedding comb with two rows of rotating bristles, and a unique cat card.

Dog Halloween Costumes – Safety Tips

Dog Halloween costumes have become very popular for owners that would like their dog to be part of the activities and for our canine friends that are party animals and enjoy getting dressed up. Here are some safety tips…

Dog Halloween costumes have grown in popularity the past number of years. Some families like to have their dog with them while trick-or-treating for security purposes, but why not dress your buddy up for Halloween and allow him to join the fun as long as you keep dog Halloween safety in mind, of course. If your neighbors like dogs and your canine friend is well trained, it can be a family event.

Many dogs, particularly those that are accustom to wearing doggy apparel, like the attention they get when dressed up, but some do not. Those who do not may get stressed.

Persuasion Tips for Wearing a Costume

1 .Do not wait until Halloween night to put your dog’s Halloween costume on. Start a couple of weeks before. Use treats to motivate him.

2. Let your buddy sniff around the costume, drape it over him for a few seconds; give him a treat and praise. Do this a few times every day leaving it on longer each time.

3. Put the costume on him, loosely, and repeat what you have done in the instructions above. A minute or so at first and then gradually take longer increments, combine this with plenty of treats and lots of praise.

4. If your best buddy gets stressed and worried, and does not liking the costume idea, forget it. A simple doggy t-shirt, Halloween collar or bandana may be a better alternative.

Dog Halloween Costumes – Safety Tips

1. The correct fit is important – it should not be constricting.

2. Avoid impeding the breathing, hearing, sight, movement or barking.

3. The costume should not result in overheating.

4. The costume should be checked for things that may be poisonous or that may choke your doggy.

5. A dog should not at any time be left unattended when wearing a costume.

6. Remove rubber bands.

Safety on Halloween – Inside the Home

1. Be careful that your pet does not run out the door while you are tending to trick or treaters.

2. It is a good idea to have a reflector on your dog; it may save him from being hit by a car if he gets loose.

3. Have ID on your dog just in case he does get loose.

4. If your dog is a tad nervous and really not a party animal, consider keeping him on a leash, crated or in another room while trick or treaters are coming to the door.

5. Candy and wrappers will be everywhere on Halloween but they must be kept away from pets. A chew toy or a canine treat should keep him satisfied so that he does not feel left out.

Safety on Halloween – Outside

1. Do not leave your dog outside on Halloween. Every Halloween pets are stolen, tormented, tortured and injured.

2. Be cautious when walking your dog on Halloween. You never know what your pet may pick up along the way.

3. Do have your buddy on a leash and make sure he is wearing a collar and a identification tag when out with the family and take a few of his favorite treats or biscuits along so he will feel part of the excitement.

4. Keep your dog away from jack-o-lanterns. Place lighted candles and pumpkins where they can’t be knocked over by pets.

Pet Halloween Costume Ideas

Traditionally, Halloween night has been an occasion for kids, and often for their parents as well, to dress up in fancy costumes and go trick or treating about the houses in the neighborhood.

And nowadays, it appears that the family pet is not to be deprived of its share of the fun, and is also brought along to add to the familial spirit of the festival. From taking the dog or the cat along, it is but a simple step if you want to make the pet a full-fledged participant in the revelries: why not dress the pet up in a pet Halloween costume?

The idea may appear to be a bit weird or even funny but consider: firstly, Halloween is the night that you are licensed to be weird; and secondly there are scores of festivals and competitions organized all over the USA at which people dress up their pets for fun and games. So then there’s no reason why your pet can’t put on a Halloween costume and join in the fun.

Pet Halloween costumes are in fact getting increasingly popular and are readily available at all the major pet stores and even departmental stores like Wal-mart and Target have separate sections for pet Halloween costumes.

Since this is still a niche market, the costumes are somewhat expensive, but depending on the sum you wish to spend you can choose anything from simple dresses to those which are not less elaborate than the most complicated human Halloween costumes.

So you can dress up your cat, dog or pet iguana as a princess, a fairy, a devil, or for that matter even a cow. The choice is simply amazing. But when purchasing that costume, be sure to size it correctly. Since the pets are not generally used to wearing dresses, much less elaborate ones, a costume which is a bit too large can cause the pet to trip up, or it may even manage to wriggle out of it.

In consideration of this last problem, it may not only be simpler but also more effective to make your own pet Halloween costume. You are likely to find all the items you require already in your house.

A simple pet Halloween costume need be nothing more than a hat! So for that perfect Halloween dress for your pet, get yourself an old hat and attach a Velcro strip, two pieces of string or even a belt, whatever is handy, to act as a fastener.

But before the actual show time, it might be a good idea to get the pet accustomed to wear the hat. Provided it has had some practice, the pet shouldn’t try to get it off, and all would be well. You could also try and add some accessories to the plain hat, such as a pair of sunglasses or a bandanna. The super-pet is sure to impress the neighbors and get a little extra candy on the night.

You could also try some more elaborate Halloween costumes for your pet. So for instance, you could coordinate the costume for the pet with the ones that your children are wearing: if your child is in a puppy costume, how about having your dog dress up as a mommy, nurse or a nanny. Or if the dog is rather small, you could dress it up as a baby in swaddling clothes and make your child play the role of the nurse with a pram.

The range of things you could do to make your pet a part of your Halloween festivities are boundless: by your effort, imagination and creativity you are sure to come up with a great Halloween costume for your pet.
