Cats and Fireworks

• Keep your cat indoors after dark. It’ll reduce the risk of them being spooked!
• Create a safe space for your cat. A cardboard box lined with blankets is perfect. Cats feel safer higher up – placing the box on a sturdy shelf is even better.
• Play music. Yes, really! Cats and loud noises don’t necessarily mix and keeping a radio or TV can help if your cat gets scared from the sudden sounds of fireworks.
• Use a pheromone plug-in. A plug-in diffuser, such as Feliway, can create a calming effect on anxious cats. Begin using it a couple of weeks before fireworks season and place it in the room where your cat spends most of its time.
• Stay calm. Instead of overly comforting an anxious cat, keep your cool – your cat is more likely to feel settled if you are.
