Can we just take a moment to appreciate Troys voice here for a minute?

YES, here too- we're surrounded on all sides.

The official fireworks don't go off until 10 pm here- because it stays light so late.

But it's been a war zone starting yesterday... with the EXPLOSION types going off constantly!

Fortunately, I've got central air and windows & doors with tight seals- can't imagine what it's like for folks who have to keep their windows open!

Ok THESE are the fireworks that trigger as well as annoy tf out of me - the backyard fireworks that explode 25 feet from my windows...

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a cat. I think dogs are probably more straightforward. We did offer ours some tranquilizers, though not a massive dose. And although they haven’t been knocked out, they get it when we name the threat they’re barking at. And they generally turn the barking back off.
I miss doing fireworks but keeping the canines happy is incredibly more fulfilling.
I hope y’all collectively have a decent evening!

I can see about 15 non professional firework shows from my apartment - and I'm only on the 4th floor in the back not facing downtown...

I don't know why but this year I was ok with the fireworks show in the distance but I'm NOT ok with them being launched 25 feet from my apartment...

@ATXJane @XOshiloh and I'm ok - it didn't bother me much actually this year - usually I can't see/hear them (they're shot off down by the river but they must have changed locations a little because I could see them from my window) - so went down and took some video - Shuri was in the bathroom so I had some soothing cat music playing for her... she's out & about already too... not much to do for a cat compared to a dog - she won't sit still long enough :(

What do you do for a freaking out cat? We’re a dog household, but this year our previous conditioning is finally paying off.

Are you doing ok?

@ATXJane @XOshiloh Shuri ran to the bathroom like usual, and just hid in the tub - so I left her alone not much to do at that point except love on her when she comes back out...
