Fall has a special kind of magic, crisp air, colorful leaves, and pumpkin-spiced everything. But as the Halloween season rolls in, it’s not just about candy and costumes, it’s also the perfect time to treat your cat to some seasonal fun!

Cats love warm, snug spaces, and fall is full of them. A soft blanket by the window becomes the ultimate perch for leaf-watching, while a cardboard box left from your latest online order instantly transforms into a haunted “cat castle.” Add a few crinkly paper balls or toy mice, and you’ve created a Halloween-worthy play zone.

Did you know pumpkin (plain, unsweetened, and cooked) can be a healthy treat for cats in small amounts? It’s high in fiber and can help support digestion. Mix a teaspoon into your cat’s dinner or freeze pumpkin purée in ice cube trays for a fun fall snack. Just remember, no pumpkin pie filling, since it’s packed with sugar and spices that aren’t safe for pets.

With trick-or-treaters at the door, remember that chocolate, candy, and wrappers are dangerous for cats. Keep the treats for the humans and make sure your furry friend has a quiet room to retreat to when the doorbell starts ringing. A cozy hideaway with their favorite toy and a bowl of fresh water can help keep them calm during the excitement.

Just like us, cats thrive on consistent, balanced nutrition all year long. That’s where Purina ONE® comes in, with formulas made to support strong muscles, a healthy immune system, and a shiny coat, every meal helps your cat feel their best no matter the season. This fall, celebrate the spooky season by making your cat’s world just as magical as yours.
