another 4th gone by

Another year of fireworks, another of year of terrified Oliver.

I locked Oliver away on the back porch early this year, in middle of afternoon. He wasn't too pleased with that arrangement, but too bad! As the night progressed I think he came to appreciate that decision. He was super scared and desperately wanted to come inside. So, once again, I pitched my sleeping bag on the mudroom floor, so he could cuddle and feel safe.

Oliver purred and purred!


As you can see in the photos, we both suffered significantly by this arrangement! 


We didn't get a lot of sleep while the fireworks were going on, but we got some prize winning cuddle time! I left the mudroom door open so Pierre come join us, but he elected to stay hunkered down between the wall and chest freezer.

  1. Oliver is so lucky to have you. My two were out of sorts, too, during our Canada Day celebrations with fireworks.

  2. Oliver is the luckiest (formerly) feral cat on the planet! Tongue in cheek here: He faked being scared just for the extra cuddle time, right? :-)

    Maybe next year Pierre will be brave enough to join you. You never know!

    Purrs from the boys; thanks for stopping by.
