Psycho Cat George

We don't get much noise here. I only heard a few in the distance. There are not many houses, and I think people go to see displays instead anyway.
But the few we did hear didn't seem to bother Blodyn.

All the other cats I've had have been terrified of them.
Also terrified of low flying jets that scream through the sky just skimming the tops of the hills. And one cat was terrified of thunder storms. He used to sit on the stairs trembling.

I'm glad to hear your cat is better now :o)

I don't think that's typical cat behaviour though, most are terrified of firworks.

Mine are well and truly spooked by them and unfortunately there's a fathead next door to me who has a firework party each year that goes on for several hours, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
My cats hide in the wardrobes or airing cupboard.

The firework debris collection from my gardens continues for a couple of weeks. Grrrrrrrr.

We only had a few in the village last night so figure they are saving it all up for Saturday night.
I just shut the doors and curtains, have the tv up loud and relax which in turn has them relaxed. It is the one thing I am not looking forward to when I move into the town. At least it only happens Bonfire night , Christmas and New Year.

Thats good news Merfyn about George pleased to hear he is ok now.
There were loads of fireworks here enjoyed them all I will be going with the 4 year old grand daughter to the local park Saturday for her to experience the displays just like when we were kids.

I am pleased he's better and not scared of fireworks.My dog Lucy has never been scared, so i'm pleased about that.I'm looking forward to going to a display on Saturday night.

Pleased he's not frighten of them, but my poor cat is terified of them, he was'nt to bad when he was young but the older he gets the less he likes them there again he is 17.

Henry hates them - he dashes around barking madly. We are sooooo lucky to live in a rural area, where fireworks are infrequent. People are asked to post a notice if they are planning any, as there are so many horses around here - and they get spooked!

Glad to hear that George is better.

Mine are okay I try to keep them in but if they do get out they dont seem bothered.Pleased georges paw is okay.

My cats were petrified of fireworks, but one of them loved water - she'd run under the hose and try to catch the water or bat it with her paw - I even found her on the draining board swiping at a steadily running stream of water when the washer went in the tap...

50,000 people went to Lewis bonfire p[rosession and display last night it comes here in about 3 weeks the whole village watch the procession that takes about 3 hours before the display at 9pm a wonderful sight.

angelina doesnt seem bothered either merfyn, but didnt go out, just asleep as usual ,only a neighbour with a few and the village bobfire so not to bad here

Glad George is ok now Merfyn. My cats react differently to fireworks bangs...one goes out to see what all the noise is & the other hides under the sofa!

Glad George is feeling better. Saw a world premier play this summer by Bill Cain called "Equivocation" built around the Gunpowder plot and the writing of Macbeth, exploring the fine line between exposing lies and keeping one's head: interesting historical footnote that Robert Cecil's line has continued to wield so much power through the years.
