🎆 Fireworks Season
Peak: July 4th & December 31st (New Year's Eve) · Risk Level: Extreme
Fireworks Season: Risks & Prevention
More cats go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year. Animal shelters report a 30-60% spike in intake following fireworks. New Year's Eve is the second-busiest day for lost cats.
Why Fireworks Are So Dangerous
- Loud, unpredictable booms terrify cats — even calm indoor cats.
- Cats bolt through doors, windows, and screens in panic.
- Fireworks-spooked cats hide close to home but won't come when called.
Prevention Tips
- Keep cats indoors on fireworks days — start 2 hours before sunset.
- Create a safe room away from windows.
- Play white noise or music to drown out fireworks.
- Use a pheromone diffuser (Feliway).
- Microchip your cat and keep contact details current.
