She's so scared of the fireworks outside. The new year has just started here, and as usual, people started with the fireworks hours ago. :( She was such a brave girl and even came out a couple of times, but at midnight, the world went crazy out there to welcome the new year, and now my poor girl is hiding behind the sofa, and she's so scared. The same procedure as every year... *sigh*
Wishing a safe and peaceful beginning of the new year to all PT pets, and their humans...

Awww, poor Luna. It will be over soon honey.
Happy New Year to you!!! I've still got 8 1/2 hours to go to the New Year. I'm still at work. :(
Poor girl! The year has just started here too, but we had only a few fireworks. These last years we've been living in a very small village and nothing happened but this year I was afraid of it, living in the city. It seems that our neighours are pretty quiet.

AS LONG AS ITS JUST TEMPORARY , KIRSTEN AND WE ARE SURE THAT LUNA WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT SOON.
SADLY MY BO BO THE ELDEST MEEZERS HIDING ALMOST ALL THE TIME, AND IS LOSING WEIGHT.
I GUESS ANOTHER PHONE CALL TO THE VET IN THE NEW YEAR.
:eek:
We still have 6 hours to go and they are popping around us.. I have 4 nervous girls here at my house and am dreading the midnight hour...
Poor babies!:( Living in an apartment, 14 floors up, the fireworks around here aren't very loud thank goodness.
Please give your furbabies a kiss from me. :love:
Fireworks are getting more and more each year. While people used to buy 10 rockets they now buy 70 shot batteries. Even in our small village it took from midnight until half past- it used to be ten minutes before everyone had fired their ammunition ;)
Tigris was under the bed and Filou didn't care. I am sorry for all the poor outdoor animals.
We don't have firework anymore - because of the animals. But I must say that 20 years ago when we did it it was a lot of fun.
And the funny thing is that a lot of the people who buy these fireworks are the same eople who are always complaining about the high cost of groceries, gas etc and buy thier Pets he no name Pet Food , which is mostly cereal.
Some people sure have thier spending priorities mixed up.:confused::confused:
Yes, same procedure as last year. :rolleyes: I'm sorry Luna was so scared - and I alao thought of the poor animals outside - no where to hide. :(
We had a few unexpected bombs round dinnertime, and Fister crept along the floor. Then it was quiet for a few hours. After 24.00, all hell broke loose and it continued until after 1.00
I live 10 min. from the Town Hall square, and in my area (Nørrebro... Nørrebronx some call it) we had all the kinds of fireworks you can think of.
I had put a box on my bed with blankets around to cover for the noise, and Fister did go in there, but during the worst he was outside. Silly boy! I saw him one time jump a few inches from my bed when a bomb went off.
Fister was brave though, he went up in the windowsill once or twice and looked at the rackets with huge eyes, but soon came down. :eek: I'm glad I had some extra rubber thingies put on my windows this summer, they take some of the noise. :)
I had also put a bowl of water and some treats in my bathroom (the quietest place) but he didn't want to stay there.
I'll go for a walk now, and after, I'll post a picture of Fister's little cave.
Happy New Year to you all, and your pets!
Ok, I got the pics transfrered, so here's Fister's New Year 's Eve box. I found him inside when I just came back, so I'll leave it for a few days. :D He must feel safe there. :)
Randi, what a great idea! That box looks so comfy and warm! :)
I put a blanket onto the floor behind the sofa where Luna is usually hiding, but while hell broke loose, she was sitting NEXT to it, paralized with fear. :( But at 1 am, she came out and even ate a bit, when she heard that Lily was eating her meal. I was so proud of her!
But guess what? Now she decided that the blanket in her hiding space makes a great sleeping place, and she's spending there most of her time today - not because she's still scared, but because she seems to like the place! :eek:
Exactly!! Same here! It's those who live on welfare that seem to spend tons of money on fireworks. Strange!Quote:

Luckily my kitties were not phased by the fireworks but I know the raccoons and the nutrieas (sp?) were really freaked out outside :(. Poor wild critters didn't know what was going on!
Poor, sweet Luna! I'm so sorry to hear about how frightened and upset you were with those noisy fireworks. But you know that your Meowmie loves you very much and would never allow anything to hurt you or Lily. On our street the only thing was some kids pounding trash can lids together. I read that you found a great new hidey spot with a warm, comfy blanket too.
Wishing you, Lily and your Meowmie the very best that the New Year has to offer!!!!!
Please ask Meowmie to give you and Lily lots of scritchies and lovies from Me?
