I really love Halloween! I especially love carving something different each year on our pumpkins and, though I’m very fond of cats, I thought other pets should be represented too. Here are a variety of patterns for a bunch of different animals that should make some pretty nifty jack-o-lanterns. And, yes there are more cats. Just click on an image for a larger version to print or download.

And don’t miss these cat stencils and these dog breed stencils. Or you can make a stencil from your own photos of your pets.

Have a fun Halloween and keep your furred & feathered friends safe!

Wag.com Amazon’s New Pet E-Commerce Site

Amazon now has a dedicated site for pet products—Wag.com. I wonder if this will have an effect on the specialty pet sites (like PetExpertise.com) I like for finding progressive training tools and books. I hope it means more people will have accesses to quality foods, tools, and information!

(Note: I’m not connected in any way to either site, other than having ordered products from PetExpertise and Amazon.)

Jan Van Dusen, who has fostered over 70 cats, went up against the IRS and won. Good news for animal rescue groups all over the U.S. Van Dusen had deducted expenses she had incurred while fostering cats for an IRS- approved charity. The ruling will make it easier for volunteers to help animal rescue groups. Yea!

Check out the article to learn more and keep your receipts for next year’s taxes, if you’re fostering or providing some other service.
