Haven't heard any this year. Aren't we lucky?
Mine don't go out in the dark so don't think they even know there are any around. I;ll put the TV on loud next weekend and there should be no probs.

Re: Cat's & Fireworks


We have had fireworks going off every night for about two weeks now....and I don't mean just the odd one or two. It's been like bonfire every night

Cassie gets very frightened so I make sure she is indoors safe from 4.00pm. Even then when the fireworks are going off she tries to hide away, her ears go flat to her head and her poor eyes look terrified.

I vote for 'bang-less' fireworks!! ........or animal friendly ones
