Halloween is not Halloween without a carved pumpkin or two by your front door to welcome in all those excited trick-or-treat-ers. Every Halloween night we’ve had a carved pumpkin glowing in our front window.
Scary faces, witches and goblins will always make a good pumpkin carving pattern, but our preference is the ubiquitous black cat. The cat is an intrinsic part of Halloween just as much as monsters, ghosts and ghouls.
To further glorify the Halloween Cat we have put together a larger collection of Cat pumpkin stencils for everyone to enjoy. See our first list of Cat Pumpkin Stencils.
We also added a few extra surprises at the end of our list to help your pumpkin carving go a bit easier this Halloween. First off, we’ve added some links to some great How-To pumpkin carving links. Following that there are some must-have carving tools that are perfect for any pumpkin carving job.
Next are a couple of awesome pumpkin carving pattern books and finally, we found some inspirational pictures of Cat jack-o-lantern carvings for you to enjoy.
We found lots of new pumpkin patterns this year and there was a cat stencil in almost all the sets we saw. We’ll be carving a few of these cat patterns ourselves this year. If we could, we would use them all.
