Kitty Bytes - October 2008

We're proud to bring you the October 2008 edition of Kitty Bytes!

Many of our American friends will be celebrating Halloween at the end of this month. Please keep your kitties safely indoors during this period, especially if they happen to be black. It's always a good idea to go back to our Halloween Safety Guide for more cat safety tips for this holiday.
