Fireworks light up the sky several times a year. They tend to be liked by children, the elderly and adults, but not the cat. The feline has a much more developed sense of hearing than ours, so that it can hear the sound of the mouse from 7 meters away. If we think about how weak the rodent makes the sound, we will know why it is so scared when humans celebrate their parties.
It can get so bad that you can stay under the bed for several hours after they finish, shaking with fear. Let us know how to protect the cat from fireworks.

Not let him leave the house
A noise will cause the immediate flight in search of a safe place. If you are at home, there is no problem because you are already in that place where your life is not in danger, but if he is abroad or if he has permission to leave, in his flight he may end up lost, or even run over.
Provide a room for him
At least during the days when there are fireworks, the cat should be in a quiet room, with the windows and doors closed. In it we will put food, water, a bed and his sandbox, but it is also very important that we spend time with him, that we keep him company, that we distract him.
Play with the cat
If we play with him we will prevent him from thinking about fires. During this activity, we can put on relaxing music -low volume-, and give him a lot of love but without overwhelming him. We have to act normal, so that little by little you understand that there is no danger.
Why is fireworks dangerous for animals?
Both cats and dogs are 4 times more sensitive to sounds than we are, to the point that pyrotechnics generate them tachycardia, tremors, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, loss of control, fear, and even death.
Let's avoid the use of fireworks, for the sake of our four-legged friends.
