- Are you worried how your cat will handle the loud fireworks?
- Is your cat sensitive to loud noises?
- Concerned about your cat escaping or hiding during the fireworks?
Bonfire Night, with its dazzling fireworks and festive atmosphere, can be a thrilling experience for humans. However, for our feline companions, the loud noises and bright flashes can be terrifying. As responsible cat owners, it’s crucial to consider how we can minimize their stress during this time.
If you’re choosing to keep your cats at home, we recommend using a calming plug in or spray such as pet remedy, close the curtains and windows, make sure doors are closed, provide hiding spaces under boxes, blankets etc, and keep the radio/tv on.
However one option you may not have considered for ensuring your cat’s comfort and safety is booking them into the pets country manor. Here’s why this is the ideal solution for your pet’s accommodation over Bonfire Night.
Firework Anxiety: A Common Problem for Cats
Bonfire Night can be overwhelming for cats. Unlike dogs, who may bark or become restless, cats often hide or become unusually silent when they are stressed. The loud bangs and flashing lights of fireworks can trigger severe anxiety, leading to changes in behaviour like: Hiding for long periods. Refusing to eat. Scratching or biting out of fear. Trying to escape the house.
Purpose built cat accommodation
Pets country manor is in a semi rural location away from built up areas and other houses and firework displays, so it’s a much quieter and calmer environment for your cat. We play soothing/ calming music over the bonfire night season 24/7 to drown out external noise heard in the distance, further easing anxiety. We have separate enclosed heated insulated bedrooms where cats can feel safe and secure, in a warm sung quiet environment providing them with the perfect safe snuggle space.
Professional Care and Attention
Leaving your cat alone at home during Bonfire Night can leave you anxious, especially if you’re unsure how they’ll react to the noise. Here at the pets country manor we offer the reassurance of professional staff who are trained to care for anxious or stressed cats. We have over 19 years of professionally caring for cats and provide regular monitoring: Unlike at home, where your cat may hide under furniture or in closets, our cat hotel ensures your pet is observed and cared for throughout the day until late at night. Medication support: If your cat requires anti-anxiety medication or special care, trained staff can administer treatments as needed, ensuring your cat is as comfortable as possible.
No Escaping or Running Away
One of the biggest risks during Bonfire Night is cats trying to escape. Fireworks can cause even the calmest of cats to bolt out of fear, especially if they manage to slip out of a door or window accidentally left open. This could lead to injury or getting lost, adding to your worries. At the pets country manor your feline friend will be secure in a controlled environment with absolutely no risk of escaping. The rooms are designed to keep cats safe, and their anxiety will be managed, reducing their flight instinct.
A Holiday for Your Cat Too
While you enjoy the fireworks and festivities, why not let your cat enjoy a holiday of their own? The pets country manors offers luxury accommodation that can make your cat feel pampered. Such as: Spacious suites with plenty of climbing and lounging areas. Heated bedroom for extra comfort. Window views where they can safely observe the outdoors. Pawsome afternoon tea, holiday hampurrs, arrival drinks, orthopedic beds. This isn’t just a place to keep your cat safe; it’s a chance for them to be treated to a relaxing, stress-free break.
Bonfire Night doesn’t have to be a source of stress for you or your cat. While the festivities may be fun for humans, the loud noises, flashing lights, and general chaos can be overwhelming for cats. The pets country manor offers the perfect combination of a quiet, secure environment, professional care, and a touch of luxury to ensure your cat is as comfortable as possible.
