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

Are there "pounds" for cats in this country?

Our cat trapper is American. I suppose more cats live indoor lives over there. I think her repetition of the 3 days they have before being put down is utterly reprehensible though.

Exactly 23:00 my street filled with (Brexit) fireworks. vom

marvellousnightforamooncup · 31/01/2020 23:07

Fireworks just gone off outside my house too. I'm in a very SNP area of Scotland. Didn't expect any here.

Rose789 · 31/01/2020 23:10

It sounds like a bloody war zone outside mine.
Worse then new year and bonfire night combined. Both kids awake and elderly neighbour on the phone terrified.

Gingaaarghpussy · 31/01/2020 23:14

I'm more annoyed that its after 11.

LadyWithLapdog · 31/01/2020 23:20

There were a few locally. Just drew the curtains and left the twats to it. Luckily only a handful, a minute at the most.

ManonBlackbeak · 31/01/2020 23:22

I’ve put a post on Facebook telling them to shove their fireworks up there arses. Hopefully my neighbours all see it!

SilverySurfer · 31/01/2020 23:25

They are celebrating a once in a lifetime event, I think you need to get over it.

ManonBlackbeak · 31/01/2020 23:26

Typical selfish Brexiteer attitude SilverySurfer

ClumsyFool · 31/01/2020 23:28

There were some near me at a minute to eleven, all done within 5 minutes and not heard any since.

jakeyboy1 · 31/01/2020 23:29

Fireworks going off here too my cat however has not blinked an eyelid. Except to ask for more food.

Knobblybobbly · 31/01/2020 23:29

We’ve had a couple too here weirdly. How random!

Rosebel · 31/01/2020 23:30

Is it really that big a deal? At least it'll probably only be tonight not like Bonfire Night that goes on for about 3 weeks.
We live in a massive leave area so there have been a few going off but doesn't bother me and think our cats are deaf.

ScreamedAtTheMichelangelo · 31/01/2020 23:30

Weird thing, to celebrate half the country being tricked by a bus.

Had some here as well (Cardiff). Depressing as fuck.

er.... you don't think it might be something to do with the fact the UK left the EU at 11pm ? Hmm

Knobblybobbly · 31/01/2020 23:34

oh just RTFT.... brexit

I wish I cared enough about ANYTHING to set off a firework.

Am I a fun sponge?

Reginabambina · 31/01/2020 23:34

@SilverySurfer they could celebrate like normal people instead of setting off explosives in their garden though. What’s wrong with a nice bottle of champagne?

Iwantacookie · 31/01/2020 23:35

Midlands firework party going on here. I want to go to bed but cats are running around because of the bloody fireworks.

OldTownRoadHome · 31/01/2020 23:37

Oooooh THATS why there are fireworks outside my house.

HostessTrolley · 31/01/2020 23:39

Maybe they’re celebrating getting their tax return in....

MaMaMaMySharona · 31/01/2020 23:40

@BackforGood I don’t think the obvious reason passed anyone by, just that it’s an incredibly selfish thing to do - for any reason - at 11pm.

Ginfordinner · 31/01/2020 23:42

I wonder if the NHS are celebrating the windfall they were going to get once we left the EU? Hmm

Leaannb · 31/01/2020 23:42

@Sockittome123 if they were pets they would be inside and yes animal control loves the fact that I trap them and send them their way. Less damage to local wildlife

Ginfordinner · 31/01/2020 23:43

Leaannb if I saw you outside I would trap you and lock you in a cell with lots of cats and no litter tray.
