Hiya pet lovers!
Just a reminder that this Wednesday is (depending on where you are) "Mischief Night" or "Devils' Night", a night where kids and teens (and perhaps young 'adults') go out and pull pranks.
Of course, there are those who take it too far and cause damage and vandalize, and unfortunately, animals are a target. If you have a pet, keep it indoors to prevent it from being stolen or hurt in any way. Black cats are a particular target.
I will never forget going outside on Halloween morning and seeing "Tina", a neighborhood cat that would never stay with anyone, but frequented our home, covered in kerosene. I don't know who did that to her, but it was my hope that she bit and clawed the hell out of them when she escaped.
She trusted my family, so we were able to box her up and get her to a vet, where they cleaned her, and treated her for all the kerosene she ingested trying to clean herself off.
