An update, we bought some candy and turned on the porch light, and we got all of FOUR groups of Trick or Treaters. We live in a cul de sac, and are usually the only ones with the light on. The first group was two really little guys, dressed up as Bert and Ernie. All furry, with the googly eyes on top of the head, and just a hole for their face. Kevin opened the door to give them candy while I held the cat. The littlest guy, probably not even two yet, just walked into the house. I was trying to hold onto the cat because I was afraid he would run out the door, but it turns out he was TERRIFIED of that monster/bug thing and just wanted to get away to the back of the house! Poor kitty, we had a good laugh at his expense. He's the kind of cat that always wants to greet people at the door, but I think he's over it now.
Lynda, our cat knows how Cash feels.
