Loud fireworks going off, our cats are terrified.
Selfish individuals not having any consideration for others.

nixkix · 31/01/2020 20:56

I'm with you it's horrible for animals. Nye and fireworks night should be enough.

captainprincess · 31/01/2020 20:58

Oh god really? None here yet, and I'm really hoping there isn't any later 😡

I8toys · 31/01/2020 21:00

Fgs why fireworks. Throw a party. Do something more interesting.

Oh crap, really? It's bloody Brexit Central on my street, so some twats are bound to have kept some bangers back for the occasion.

ironic that human beings doing something fun is ‘selfish’ and yet cats shit disease in other people’s gardens and kill bird life for fun

Really, this again? Hmm

Humans have a choice. It is not part of our human nature to watch a little light go up in the sky and say "oooh". It is part of a cat's nature to do what you say - and it's not like their owners can puppeteer them into not shitting in your garden!

Funny how these posts crop up during Hindu / Sikh / Muslim festival season. Hmm

Smoothyloopy · 31/01/2020 21:08

We've just had some going off by us, Cornwall. Luckily I was just back in with the dog.

I assumed it was someones birthday, didnt occur to me it might be Brexit related!

Fireworks will wildlife too... but that's ok. Fun innit.

@GrumpyHoonMain do you live under a rock between bonfire night and new years then? Ignorant.

sockittome123 · 31/01/2020 21:23

Every time I find cats hanging out on my property I trap them and take them to the pound.

Bet you're popular in your neighbourhood then. And I'm sure the pound LOVE having you turn up every other day with someone's pet instead of cats that actually need help. Hmm

DareDevil223 · 31/01/2020 21:37

I suspect it's worse than that, references to 'the pound' suggest that the PP is from the US and appears to trap people's cats in order for them to be put down which is psychotic.

Cornettoninja · 31/01/2020 21:42

What the merry fuck have cats specifically got to do with fireworks?

“Oh that unexpected firework scared the shit out of me!”

“CATS SHIT IN MY GARDEN! RRR Angry

Utterly batshit.

crustycrab · 31/01/2020 21:44

Grumpy wtf? 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 they're Brexit fireworks you plank

ShastaBeast · 31/01/2020 21:44

Going off here too. A remain voting area, but not a large margin.

everythingisginandroses · 31/01/2020 21:46

Brexit planks and Yank planks...

DazedandConcerned · 31/01/2020 21:47

I live in a pro-Brexit riding. No fireworks yet thank fuck. I hate it when my cats gets distressed because 'fun' is more important Hmm

FlowersWine for everyone dealing with idiots with explosives tonight.

KenAdams · 31/01/2020 21:49

Eh there arent any Hindu/Sikh/Muslim festivals on today. Is this another case of someone getting offended on behalf of others?

firstimemamma · 31/01/2020 21:51

Yanbu, fireworks cause unnecessary suffering to animals, children and vulnerable adults.
