It is very likely your cat will be frightened of fireworks, some may be scared by the loud noises, and some may be scared by just the sight – they may even find both elements terrifying to them. If you can, try to keep your cat indoors on evenings such as ‘bonfire night’ and ‘New Year’s Eve’, even if you’re not having a firework display yourself, you can’t be sure neighbours won’t be putting on their own displays. When keeping your cat indoors, don’t forget to put out a litter tray with easy access for your cat to use at their leisure.
