Why are cats scared of fireworks?

Cats like to be in control. The loud bangs and crashes are disorienting to your cats sensitive hearing and certainly not part of their daily routine. You can help your Kitty stay serene through firework celebrations by looking out for the signs that your cat is scared and following our supportive advice.

Cats want to get away from the noises and will try and find a quiet, dark place to hide from the noise.

You can help them do this by providing safe, comfortable hiding places. Read our Expert Q&A: Fireworks where veterinary expert Dr. Alexandra Beck explains exactly why your cat finds fireworks so unappealing and shares her top tips on how you can help them tolerate the bangs, fizzes and pops.
