What You Need to Know About Scorpio, The Real Halloween Cat
What You Need to Know About Scorpio, The Real Halloween Cat by Layla Morgan Wilde.
As we near Halloween, there are classic images of black cats and witches everywhere. Halloween season is Scorpio season. full of spiky-furred spitfires with arched backs and glowing red eyes out for mischief and mayhem. Are Scorpio cats really evil hellions? Very rarely. It’s the negative image I’ve tried hard to reverse with Black Cat awareness month and our Black Cats Tell All book. There is no question some cats are a little feisty. Ask any tortie lover about the famous tortitude and they’ll regale you with stories. If any cat is going to more magical, mysterious and sultry, it’s a Scorpio. Somes call them witch’s cats and Halloween is like their month-long birthday.
The wheel of the zodiac just spun into Scorpio on October 24th and stays there on Nov,22. Of the twelve astrological signs, there is no mistaking a Scorpio cat. Those eyes! They are all about intensity, beginning with eyes that bore down to your soul. Don’t even think of trying to outstare them. There will be blood. Yours. Scorpio colors are midnight black and deep murky reds. Their coat can be any color of course but I tend to think of Scorpios as black, tuxies or torties. Their element is water and they enjoy fountains and dripping taps. The old adage: Still waters run deep, fits them purrfectly.
These passionate felines ooze sensuality even after being neutered and spayed (which we recommend doing early). You’ll find them luxuriating every muscle in sun puddles and like having their slinky bodies stroked, but they call the shots. They like to be in charge of everyone and everything in their household. Possessive, controlling and jealous, they tend to be loyal, one-person cats.
If you are that lucky person, you will happily do their bidding, having fallen under their magical spell. The mysterious Scorpio cat sits Sphinx-like and silent exuding a mystical aura. You can safely share your deepest secrets with these inscrutable creatures but may not tell all about their secrets.
A glamorous witchy vibe with a black cat familiar from a vintage magazine cover.
Scorpio cats will let you know when and where they want to be stroked, played with or announce dinner time with the look, their paw tapping or tail wrapped around your ankle or wrist. Clever and cunning, they love playing “ambush” and other prey games but never use your fingers or toes or you’ll be the loser in that game. Long wand or fishing pole-type toys work best.
Scorpio kitties need a place of their own to nap in, ideally with nooks or crannies for privacy. Be sure to provide several places to sharpen their magnificent claws or they will shred the sofa and your favorite sweaters to smithereens. Please note: any kittens currently available for adoption now @8weeks are not Scorpios but Virgo or Libras. You won’t find any Scorpio kitten for adoption until around Christmas.
I don’t recommend adopting any cats close to the hectic holiday season but how about a Scorpio cat print from .SASKDY
Do you know any Scorpios kitties? What are their best and worst traits?

my cat IS the embodiment of a Scorpio cat. he gives the death eyes and is very demanding. He is 1 of 4 in a litter and has 2 brother and a sister. He picked me and no one else. He put me in his spell. we got them as strays 8 years ago and he has been mine since we took them home. when my mom was goin to take him to the shelter I was crying nonstop. I took him and hid him in my room. He very much loves to eat my food and sits like a prince and gets mad if don’t do what he wants or go off schedule. he is the biggest prince I have every know and will most likely try getting more Scorpio cats

That Scorpio artwork by Sasykd is amazing! You find — and create — some of the most gorgeous art for your blog, and it always makes me smile to see what you use for illustrations.
Layla Morgan Wilde
What a sweet compliment. Thank you. It’s all thanks to cats being my creative muse.
The Island Cats
Well, none of us are Scorpio kitties.
Just wanted to let you know that one of the links in the email we get for your blog is working now. Don’t know what was going on before…maybe it was just us. 🙂
Layla Morgan Wilde
Thanks, who knows but glad it’s working now.

My human hasn’t had any scorpio kitties. I’m a Pisces, and Sparkle was Cancer, so we were the other two water signs. So maybe Scorpio is next?
Layla Morgan Wilde
Knowing you, Scorpio would be a great match for you.
Skeeter & Izzy
We luvs all the art work!
We think that Izzy may be a Scorpio if not by birth then she missed the boat because you described her to a T.

hugs and Kitty kisses

The descriptions are for sun signs but when he break down the chart into detail, a moon or ascendant in Scorpio would give Izzy that Scorpio look.

Love the art work. Ched and Mao were born around March 20, so they’re Aries. Emma was born on May 1 or thereabouts, and years later, so was our son, so they’re Taurus. Neither Stephen nor Emma seemed very taurus-like.
Teddy and Mom
All the artwork is great but I particularly like the vintage magazine cover…..very glam!
Hugs, Pam with Teddy too
Layla Morgan Wilde
I love it too. Glam but kitschy in that pulp magazine way.
Johnny
The art by Sasykd is soooo amazing! I love it 🙂

Our two inside kitties are Leos, but I have a feeling that friendly feral Sweetie may be a Scorpio! She’s mostly black, with curious white hairs sprinkled all over but you can only see them when you are up close. It’s her way or the highway, for sure!
Layla Morgan Wilde
Leo cats are awesome as you well know and I wouldn’t be surprised about Sweetie.
