πGuy Forks night is looming π
Here are some top tips for keeping cats and other small pets safe and calm on Bonfire Night:
πProvide a safe space: Make a "den" for your pet with soft bedding or old clothes in a quiet place, like under a bed.
πKeep them inside: Keep your pet inside when fireworks are going off, make sure they have plenty of hiding places such as hooded beds or hay and straw for bunnies and guinea pigs.
πBlock out noise: Close windows and doors, and block cat flaps. Draw the curtains and play music or TV at a comfortable volume to help mask the noise. Classic FM , NOW TV are playing distractions to help your pets.
πLet them hide: Allow your cat to hide if they want to, if they feel up to it you can comfort them but donβt force this on them, let them come to you.
πStay calm: Stay calm and act normally.
πProvide treats: Offer your cat tasty food or treats to distract them.
πUse calming products: Use products like Feliway or Pet Remedy to help reduce stress. Start using them a few weeks before fireworks.
πGet veterinary help: Get veterinary help for your pets 6 to 12 weeks before the firework season begins.
If your cat is particularly anxious around fireworks, you might want to avoid leaving them alone in the house
It's taken 4 years, but little Trevor has finally relented and decided to enjoy a big cuddle from me.
My heart melted big time, as you can probably hear in this video. π π
