How did your cats do last night? Fireworks?

So, I was wondering, how did every ones cat's do last night, if you had fireworks near by?   

We have a stadium a few doors down, so there are usually some loud, pretty ones going off.

(it's not where they are  held, & nothing going on there, so don't know why they do it, extras maybe? 

  but is nice to see them from my parking lot w/o having to go anywhere.   )

When that happens, Angel makes a dash for under the bed!  

SO, Last night, I "prepped" some treats w/ Rescue Remedy ahead of time, so the smell would go away, &

he would eat them when the time came. 

As well as the feliway that is always plugged in, I sprayed some of the spray under the bed about a 1/2 hr. before

things usually start. I also gave the living room a few extra spritz. 

I think I gave him the treats around 9:00.

To my surprise, there was no big show. That's a first in the 15+ yrs. I've lived here!

However, there were some across the street, so no big bangs, just some "poofs" here & there for a couple of hrs.

It worked! At first he did go under the bed, but only for about 30 mins. or so. Then, he stayed out here in the living room w/ me.

Every time one would go off his ears would go back & he would look alert, like "what was THAT?!"  but he stayed.

I told him what a brave boy he was, & that I was proud of him.

So, my "prep work" seemed to help! 

So, how did your kitties do?

Oddly enough, my cats didn't care.  I didn't do anything any different, so I don't know what kept them calm.

The fireworks weren't very loud (to my human ears anyway), but with my skittish cat I thought he'd hide. But nope. Slept through the whole thing on his cat tree. I didn't even have to close the windows.

That's great.    

We weren't home on July 4th. While we were in the bedroom last night watching the last season of Dexter, our neighbors had a good hour or so of fireworks with lots of booming going on. Mollipop was back in bed with us and a couple times she got up and went to the window, but overall she was fine and she fell asleep. Muffin was on the floor, laying on a pair of Rick's shorts, out like a light. Amber was in hiding. Boo was sleeping in bed; he can't hear anything anyway. I went out to the living room to check on the kids and everybody seemed fine. Tabby was laying in the bay window; I think she was watching the commotion across the street.
