This is my cat, Teddy's second Fourth Of July. He was only 3-4 weeks old when his first one happened, so he probably doesn't remember. I wasn't able to be with him while the fireworks were going off, but I came home around 5 minutes after they ended. I found him shivering in the corner between the wall and litter box. A couple minutes later he ran under my computer desk near my feet, but when he ran over he was low to the ground. It's been around 30 minutes since they have ended but he hasn't moved away from my feet. His eyes are still wide, and he shakes now and then. Anyway, I was wondering if this is normal? I put plenty of hiding spots for him to use, but he didn't use any. I hate to see him this freighted. I was wondering if any of you have experienced it, and how you deal with a cat like mine. I read a couple websites, but they didn't seem to be very helpful. Perhaps I could ask his vet for medication for the next Fourth Of July? I'm definitely staying with him next year though. (Also I must mention my house is right by where my town does fireworks, so it is pretty loud.) Thank you for reading
