It Was a Very Good Night!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Enjoy the story.

Tiger was the only cat in the family. There were also two dogs, and they got along with each other very well. Tiger had seen what happened with the dogs around the time of Halloween and he would hide. He didn't want humans putting all kind of costumes on him. Yuck! The dogs looked so silly, but they'd just wag their tails and act like they were all happy about it. That wasn't for Tiger. No, sir, cats didn't do that!

It was time for Halloween again. "Oh, no", thought Tiger. "Time for me to find a place to hide!" However, things were going to be different this year. The children had decided that the pets should go with them to carry their treat buckets. No costumes for the animals this year. Now, this sounded pretty good to Tiger! He liked being outside and decided he wouldn't hide. Being a cat, he was curious about what would happen,.

When it was time to go outside to trick or treat, Tiger was so excited that he could hardly stand it. He bounced from floor to couch, from chair to floor, etc. like he had springs in his feet. The children gathered him up along with the dogs and off they went. It was so much fun! Other children would pet him and love on him until he purring so loud he sounded like a freight train. "Yes!", thought Tiger. "I want to do this every year." He was so tired when they came home that he fell asleep in the chair. It had been a very good night indeed!
