Fireworks
If your pet has a fear of or dislikes loud noises, something as simple as turning on soft music and moving your pet into an interior room with no windows can be helpful while fireworks light the sky, according to the ASPCA. It is important to give your pet a space where they feel comfortable and calm inside and away from the excitement.
You can also think about giving your pet a toy to keep them busy inside, such as a Kong or a chew.
Noise phobias are not as common in cats, but they can and do happen, however, cats tend to hide when they are frightened. Checking in on your cats, having some quiet music on, and keeping them indoors during the fireworks are always helpful.
