cat ran out door when I got home, fireworks going off everywhere

[goingtohellinahandcart]

Dcat ran out the door when I got home he's very nervy and I can't find him anywhere which is unusual as he doesn't normally go far. Tried calling him but he hasn't appeared which he also unusual for him.

Wait till there is a pause and go out

Hope he comes back soon! Would shaking a pack of dreamies do anything?

He doesn't like dreamies!-strange cat

We had this last year. She was 25ft up a tree. Very stressful.

On my own as well as dh and dd2 are away. have told dh, don't know if he's told dd

Mine is out now too. I keep calling her but no sign.
She’s a scaredy at the best of times, she’s a very nervous rescue cat.
The dog on the other hand waits at the back door to go out and isn’t bothered in the slightest by the bangs!
I feel sorry for all the wild animals in absolute terror too. I hate that fireworks are bought so easily.

Still no sign, this really isn't like him

Hope he comes home really soon! They are such a worry!!

Dcat has been with us 3 bonfire nights and she is more spooked this year than previous years!

Thankfully she doesn’t go out much so she is safe in her scratcher box but she seems miserable😢

My two cats are out too. No sign of them either. I've been shaking dreamies but no luck yet 😞

He'll be hiding somewhere. Don't worry - he will come back when he feels it's safer.

I’m glad I kept my girl in. She complained but I’d sooner have her moaning than lost.

He’ll be hiding in a bush. Can you leave the back door open, if it’s not too cold, so he can make a mad dash for the house if he needs to?

Can you not open a tin of smelly fish in your garden and leave it there ( I don't have cats)

Mine went off for a while yesterday (chased by friend's dog), then the fireworks started. I just kept calling her every half hour and she returned eventually. Rustling a cat treat packet and pushing the door handle up and down may have helped

Probably hiding somewhere close by. My cat ran out last year, he came back after about 20 minutes, keeping himself low to the ground, and bolted back indoors

He's back. I'm now eating my takeaway with a large glass of wine.

Dh and I have agreed that dd2 will never know about this

Good news that he's back albeit spooked .

Next week the fireworks could be worse as its Diwali on the 12th.
Last year my very nervous boy was disturbed by a loud ,close firework while he was doing his business in his tray . He legged it under the sofa like a thing posessed Let's just say it took a while for me to clean up all the skid marks and lumps of (thankfully solid) pooh !

He was definitely spooked, now asleep on his blanket

Good to hear he is home.

Glad he’s home.

WhydoIbloodybother did yours come back?

She did
I’m glad your boy came back too. They are such a worry!
Fireworks still going off tonight though.

Glad to hear she came back, they can be a total nightmare at times. Didn't want to tell dd2 I'd lost her cat
