Watch Out for Black Cats!

Happy Halloween from Frank!  (He's not really a vampire, he's just yawning.)

        Halloween is a busy day around here. From past experience I know exactly how today will go.  The cats will not be happy about being confined inside for the day (to keep them safe from pranksters that might torture animals) so they'll act rotten in hopes of being thrown outside during a weak moment of frustration.  They never seem to buy the whole, "It hurts me as much as you to have to keep you inside," speech I use to appease them.  The "I'm only keeping you in because I love you," speech is also ineffective.

      Their plotting will continue until evening, when the constant opening and closing of the front door for trick-or-treaters will provide ample opportunities for escape.  I suppose I should rest for the upcoming battle.  Hopefully, we'll still have five cats tomorrow morning.
