The same procedure as every year: Kitties are scared by the fireworks

Kirsten, I know exactly what you mean, it's the same here - horrendous!!

It's after 24.00, that's when it really starts! I went down to get Pjevs in the yard, he's been in my bathroom for the last two hours, that's a closed room, so is pretty quiet and he's relaxed. I gave him food and water. so far he's emptied two bowls of food.

Fister is scared and under the bed, even though I gave 2.5 mg Diazepam.

I have the TV on too.

Hope this stops soon so I can get some sleep!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVEERYONE!

They are banned here except for organized displays, one at 10PM for the children and one at midnight. They only last for about ten minutes and we are far enough away from the noise that the cat and dog don't take much notice.

Khaith has the same problem. If he hears any loud noise(fireworks in particular), he runs to hide behind the washing machine. I actually don't remember if our town does fireworks on New Years!

... I doubt they do.... I suppose I'll find out!

We don't have a lot of fireworks on New Years Eve here, thank goodness. Most people shoot off guns ( that's scarey.

) My Sassy is afraid of everything, Missy of nothing.

Same here too. I HATE HATE HATE them soo much, it makes me absolutely raging. Poor Max was terrified. He was hiding like mad in every corner, wanting in the washing machine. Our village was like the front line in Basra, the noise was incredible. it went on for about an hour. ban the lot I say. You might as well set light to your money.

as they have had them thrown at them,if any of the brats see them.

Oh Gary, that is just awful!!

I don't know what I would do with these kids if they would do that to any of my cats!

It's interesting that some towns/areas/countries do only allow organized fireworks. That's a good thing, I think. Unfortunately, in Germany, you can buy them everywhere after Christmas, and people usually spend a lot of money on it. Every New Year's Eve, my heart goes out to all the animals outside, strays in the towns or the wild animals in the forests... It scares them so much!
