If she jumps or seems scared, I get scared. When she hears fireworks, she runs to the window to watch so I know she's enjoying it. That's how she's kept me calm during the jackhammering and pneumatic drilling under our window.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536122764434872338.post-77152968411890455292016-07-01T09:19:15.090-04:002016-07-01T09:19:15.090-04:00My dogs are more afraid than the cats.

However, truth be told, none of my furbabies have ever shown any fear of fireworks. They simply don't seem to care. My cats all love to chase lights, and I've discovered they even find watching lightning and fireworks out the window to be quite fun.<br /><br />Purrs!The Menagerie Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398992091463959888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536122764434872338.post-79251174932610019302016-07-01T04:05:03.094-04:002016-07-01T04:05:03.094-04:00I stay home on July 4th - and New Years Eve - for ...I stay home on July 4th - and New Years Eve - for that very reason. My neighborhood is the same way about fireworks and the noise freaks out Simon and BobbieSue. Toby ignores the noise. I don't know how PeggySue and MerryBelle will act - but I'm thinking being former outdoor kitties, they will go into hiding as well. Thanks for the reminders!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
