| A safe place for fireworks night! |
Kitties
(and other animals and birdies that is) can really stressed during
firework season so you, silly humits, need to make sure your kitty
always has somewhere to hide if he or she wants to and that he/she
has always access to this place at all times. For example this could
be under the bed, behind the sofa or in a cupboard or wardrobe.
Ideally
during fireworks sensible humits should try and keep their kitties
indoors and away from rooms with exit doors and windows.
At
night humits should keep windows shut and close the curtains or
blinds and put on some music or turn the TV on (put something nice on
like Tom & Jerry or Sylvester and Tweety perhaps) so to muffle
the sound of fireworks.
If
possible try to ignore any signs of fear that your kitty might be
showing and try to distract her/him by perhaps engaging the kitty in
some form of interactive play (I usually play with my favourite toy
mouse, Ripley and Choo just snooze it off, really). At the same time
humits should try not to react to any firework noise themselves,
just pretend humits that you can't hear or see anything. In some
occasions the kitty might instead prefer to be left alone or to go
into hiding instead. It is important humits that you don't force the
kitty to do anything she/he doesn't want to do!
Make
sure that your kitty is always kept in a safe and secure environment
and can’t escape if there’s a sudden noise.
Finally
you should never force or try to tempt your kitty to go outside out
as this will cause your kitty to become more stressed or even get
harmed.
