How to help your Cat cope with Fireworks
Here are some steps that should help you and your pet handle the fireworks
season.
At least one week before the event
- If possible keep your cat confined to the house for the week leading
up to the event. Provide a litter tray
- Make sure the cat has some form of identification eg microchip to
trace it if it does manage to escape
- Plug a Feliway Diffuser in the room your cat uses to rest
- Make sure there are plenty of bolt holes and places to hide inside
the home
On the day of the event
- Check the cat is definitely inside the house and that escape routes
to the outside are blocked
- Create a darkened room and put on some music or the TV to drown out
the firework noise
- Wherever the cat chooses to hide leave it well alone until it feels
safe enough to emerge
- Do not punish or fuss your cat during the event
- Stay calm and act normally
After the event
- Leave the Feliway Diffuser plugged in for at least one week after
the event
- If similar events are likely to happen over a number of nights maintain
a Feliway Diffuser throughout the whole period
