Rocketed Firecrackers in HPP

[Cindy56]

Thanks Kathy! I just logged in to post that all three cats are safe and sound :-) I was very reassured from what you wrote last night. I see those schizo changes in their personalities too when they're upset. I'm glad your calico is fine. Shadow came in about 45 minutes after next door fireworks stopped, even though there were some going off on the next street. Oliver was in when I got up this morning. Simba was in the whole time but went out shortly before Shadow came in. Simba and Shadow are buddies, so maybe he encouraged him. I had brought in a litter box so Simba was ok with staying in. He'd been asleep yesterday morning when the others went out and I never imagined things would get noisy so early. They are all out now and it's pretty quiet, although not for everyone in HPP - At 11 a.m. I was hearing distant booms - like from the big ones. My son finally gave up trying to sleep and thought he'd see the aerials at midnight. Only a few. Those were used up earlier and on Christmas. Go figure.

Next year no matter where we are living - cats are staying in New Year's Day.

I hope everyone's dogs came home. I was ready to comb the properites if my cats didn't especially around those lava tube pukas. Cats are more careful but dogs will fall into things when they are running out of fear.

Here's to a good New Year to all of us and our pets :-)
