Trick or Treat Kitties by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

“Trick or Treat Kitties” by P. Buckley Moss is a playful signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that brings together the mystery of black cats with the festive fun of Halloween night. The artwork depicts a whimsical stack of sleek black cats, each adorned with bright red hats, strands of beads, and flowing purple scarves that dance as if caught in the wind. Their glowing eyes peer mischievously from beneath their hats, while some hold colorful trick-or-treat bags shaped like pumpkins.

At the very top of the kitty tower, one cat proudly waves a small American flag, blending Moss’s love of Americana with her imaginative seasonal imagery. The composition is both humorous and enchanting, making this piece a standout in the Moss Halloween Collection and Black Cat Collection.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s folk-art style with bold contrasts, “Trick or Treat Kitties” uses solid black silhouettes enhanced by vivid pops of color—scarlet reds, golden yellows, and royal purples. The vertical composition creates a sense of balance and rhythm, while the cats’ elegant, flowing forms add motion and charm. The lithograph medium captures the crisp lines and bright colors, preserving Moss’s playful yet sophisticated artistry. Signed and numbered by the artist, this limited edition print embodies both artistry and collectible value.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of “Trick or Treat Kitties” is festive, whimsical, and lighthearted. Moss transforms the often-mysterious black cat into a joyful participant in holiday traditions. The cats’ accessories—beads, hats, scarves, and trick-or-treat bags—make them feel almost like costumed children themselves, eager for the fun of Halloween night. The small flag at the top ties the celebration to themes of community, heritage, and pride, reminding us that Moss always saw holiday traditions as a reflection of family and shared joy.

Placement & Gift Ideas

With its tall, vertical format and striking imagery, “Trick or Treat Kitties” is ideal for narrow display spaces such as hallways, stairwells, or entryways where it can command attention. It also works beautifully in seasonal gallery walls, dining rooms, or family rooms as part of autumn and Halloween décor. Collectors of Moss’s Halloween and Black Cat Collections will treasure this unique piece, while cat lovers will be charmed by its playful energy. It also makes a thoughtful gift for friends, family, or collectors who enjoy whimsical seasonal artwork with a touch of Americana spirit.
