Trick or treat! 

The magic words to get strangers to open their doors to you and give you free candy. Cats trick or treat too, they just don’t always tell you they’re going out on the town. In honor of Halloween coming in the next few days, here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we’re celebrating all month with dressed up, costumed out, cool, spooky kitties who just want some free salmon snacks. 

Cats have the most intimate relationship with Halloween, and not just black void cats either! They love the macabre, the spooky, the elaborately dressed essences of what the holiday brings to the table. And what about the coziness? There’s nothing a cat loves more than to be snuggled up in soft blankets and covers, fireplace rolling, a Halloween movie on in the background while their pet loving owner cuddles them to kitty dreamland. So if you’re a Halloween guy or gal with a feline friend, just know they’re celebrating too! 

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I know, I know, it’s a bit kitschy for fake goths or people still obsessed with Tim Burton films well into their 50s, but who said there’s anything wrong with kitsch? Even if you’re a 50-year-old whose phone background is Nightmare Before Christmas, it’s simply important to celebrate the things that make you feel you. And for a lot of people, it’s the whole spooky season, in which Halloween exists in. We’re not the only ones enjoying spooky season; there’s a whole society of cats celebrating witch hunts, dressing up, and doing seances behind closed doors. 

These adorable, yet spooky dressed up cat memes are the purrfect medicine for a bad day, or the inspiration you needed to get into the holiday spirit. There’s something ethereal about the autumn and everything it encompasses. The grey skies, the possibility of rain, the brisk air, and the wind pushing stray leaves to and froe. So enjoy scrolling these cats in costume while you prep for Halloween.
