My cats had been asleep in the bedroom ALL day. When the fireworks started they both came out to the living room looking around like they were confused. I did have the slider door open back in the bedroom, so the fireworks were probably the loudest back there. So they just hung out with me and the dogs where it was quieter. I had the TV on and loud and also the whole house fan going to help drown out the noise. Zeplyn (dog) was not a fan of the noise either. Taggart (dog) is so laid back, he wasn't bothered at all.
