My cats do not bother at all, but one of my dogs has to be sedated for at least 3 nights...

I remember you posting about that before, Moli. It does seem to bother dogs generally more than cats; the nurse where I used to work said her dog was so traumatized he too had to be medicated.... sad .....

Bubbles hates them Squeak used to hide under my hubbie's desk and wet herself. Bubbles is getting more used to them now but still gets very scared.

I think they should be banned on any day other than Fireworks night - round here they seem to use them to celebrate the opening of an envelope.

Kay and Kado are not bothered about loud noises. Simon and Guinness are petrified about any loud noise.
