I had two cats sleeping on me when fireworks went off. Sasha, the calico, left claw marks across my chest as she fled. Whiskers, the silver tabby, didn't even stir. He saw i wasn't concerned, so neither was he.

Fireworks in my town of Shamokin have been going off constantly for four days now. The crescendo on the 4th was on the coal mountain at the end of my home street. Very loud.
My companion cat, Zippy, was frightened and in his hiding spot under my bed. He's opened up the fabric under the bed's box springs and gets up into them.

My dogs go everywhere with me in car crates, (so i can leave the windows wide open in summer), where they become accustomed to all kinds of odd noises/happenings. When there are fireworks, I put them in their car crates, leaving the windows open of course & they are serene throughout. And I'm about a 1/4 mile from ground zero with a huge "barrage" at the end that I feel in my sternum.

Poor kitty!!!

Fireworks can be rough on animals. Our retriever got so scared once we we got unexpectedly called out of town over the 4th that she clawed through the back door(wood). We had made arrangements for food and water, but forgot all about her fear of fireworks. hugs.
