Halloween part 4: Halloween Cat

"Halloween Cat, Halloween Cat,
Why do you meow and meow like that?
Neither I nor the moon,
like your tune,
so SCAT, Halloween cat."

Our kids love that chant...

But somehow, the 6 Clarks ended up with our own Halloween Cat.
What? Why?

Because little Quincess loves, loves, loves animals. And because her dad is a sucker. He couldn't tell her no when she looked at him with her big dark brown eyes and asked him for a kitty. We went to Grandma Judy's house where her cat (actually Aunt Jenny's) had kittens. She fell in love and wanted one really bad. Next thing I know, we are bringing it home. The kids have named him Casper.
Actually, we justify it by hoping that the cute little kitty will grow into a vole/mouse catching machine. It better!

We are not cat people. It will not be an inside cat (even though the kids keep bringing it in). I hope Suncrest is not too cold for the little guy. Too bad it had to be introduced to snow the 1st day! We've had it for 3 days and every time I go to leave, I have to pop the hood to my car because it crawls underneath and climbs up and lays on the engine. I'm guessing because it's warm? With as much running around as I do, the engine is always warm. I really hope I don't forget to check...

Here's Quin showing her Halloween Cat dress:

We lost a cat when I was little by starting the car when it was lying on the engine. Not pretty. Good luck remembering!
