My poor cat has never been this messed up after the 4th before. Probably because he isn't used to the amount of rockets they fly near our new home, since he is originally from Los Angeles.

He's still hiding since last night and hasnt eaten. I took him out and brushed him and showed him how it was all quiet so he hid under my chair for a while and then went back into his cabinet.

He was purring and all that when I petted him, but I think he might turn against me, kill me ansd steal my car so he can get back at the people who made those fireworks. Did I mention my cat was an evil genius?

So how can we pin this on the Bush family as a whole? And less importantly... did your pet get freaked out by the 4th or does the ban on fireworks in city limits keep your fireworks producers out of business? They sell EVERYTHING at the indian reservation just outside of town here in Vegas.

I knew there was a reason we forced the Natives into reservations!

What a wonderful, wonderful OP.

If I have a brilliant idea how to bring down the Shrub with this, I'll let you know ASAP.

Also, I would hide my car keys if I were you. Just in case.

brilliant connection! this was Bushs great grandfathers doing right?

With enough people having pets getting PTSD from the 4th, perhaps we dont need a strong case, just a load of sympathy for animals. We'll get a hacker to get a bunch of PETA members on the jury somehow.... yes... excellent

That's a good idea. I'll just get them off the table and... :eek: THEY'RE GONE!!!!!!

Work through it with your cat. Cats bounce back from psychological trauma pretty quick.

Mainly because averge cats' megalomania won't let them remember events where they proved themselves fallible in any way.

Whenever my little sweetie-pie has this happen to her, we do what you're doing. And feed her some salmon guts, or something else special, for a couple days.

Usually, she's back to normal routine, scratching people for no reason and killing rabbits, within a work-week.

good advice, thanks. :)

Yeah I even engaged him in some fight play so that he would get in attack mode and feel like the superior hunter he normally does, but he was only into it half-heartedly and was still on edge.

I'll definitely try the treats thing

Yes. You said he was a cat. Evil genius is understood.

Of course. Who else would have the necessary evil gene?

My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner
The way it goes "Vroom, vroom, vroom"
Vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, vroom, vroom

My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner
The way it goes "Vroom, vroom, vroom".
And the way it makes calls in the middle of the night
To shadowy men with underworld connections
Its conversations sound innocent enough,
But then, why is it whispering
And saying things that are obviously codes
Like "Go to the laundry and pick up my shorts"?
It's a vacuum cleaner, it doesn't wear shorts.
But it does have a secret hidden room
Full of instruments of torture from ancient times
That were stolen from a little-known Idaho museum.
And on the wall in the secret room
Is a picture of actor Anthony Hopkins
Taken from the movie "Silence of the Lambs",
The one where he wears the scary mask.
And next to the picture of Anthony Hopkins
Is a picture of the vacuum cleaner
In the same scary mask, but a smaller version.
It's cute in a way, but in other ways no.
And also on the walls are some scribbled words.
Incoherent paranoid rants
Written in a language called Vacuumese
Derived from French and the operating manual
Of a 1972 Electrolux.
And what is written on those walls
In the language known as Vacuumese
Sends icy chills up my little cat's spine
And makes it toss and turn at night.
But the thing about the vacuum cleaner
That scares my cat the very most,
That makes it wake in a cold, cold sweat
And haunts its days and haunts its nights
And makes it jump at the slightest noise...

:eek: Wow. I usually don't even read the long-ass lyrics/poems people post, but that's fantastic. What is that? (Erm, and if it's something every American two-year-old knows by heart, I'll just point out that I'm neither American nor two years old and go back into my corner to be ashamed of myself a bit. <.<)

It was on Dr. Demento (wierd radio show that has funny music, I don't think it broadcasts outside of US, but I could be wrong, because they do several Canadian artists that put songs on it) a month or so ago, so I dug up the lyrics when I saw this.

Great, thanks! :)

Speaking of cats being afraid of fireworks and vacuum cleaners, I used to have a cat who was afraid of Mexicans. Why? I don't know, but he was.

Now, of course, I know that George W. Hitler had something to do with all of this feline terror, as Dubya is involved with every bad event that has ever happened in human history, even the ones that happened before he was born. He's just that evil. I'm sure that Jerry Falwell, Pat Buchanan, Bill Frist, Dennis Hastert, Tom DeLay, Donald Rumsfeld, and every other conservative on the face of the planet had something to do with scaring cats or turning them into racists. They also took away my right to choose. I'm not sure what right that is, cuz I'm a guy, but I probably don't know what it is because they took it from me before I could know, because they're evil. Neocon.

OMG I was just thinking about De Demento the other day (Bush's doing no doubt) - I used to listen to it religiously. I was hoping he was still around. I actually called to make a request one day and he is the one who answered the phone. Neat.

They stopped broadcasting him where I last lived. I should see if they carry him in Vegas. He needs to get with the times and podcast his shit.


I was wrong - it's been a while since I've checked his website it seems... You can hear his show online for a fee.

Nah. Bush must have snuck on to the internet and edited your post to make it seem that way. Wily presidents.

Also, Bush snuck into my room last night and made my clothes smell like ass.

PTSD was invented by Bush to kill Iraq veterans and is tested on cats. Also snakes.

Well, you could always try to sue him (Bush, not the sky) for physical and psychological damages inflicted on your poor cat and yourself, plus reimbursement for the treats to be bought. I think you have a good case on your hands there.

My poor cat has never been this messed up after the 4th before. Probably because he isn't used to the amount of rockets they fly near our new home, since he is originally from Los Angeles.
What? The drive-by shootings weren't as much of a nuisance as fireworks? I would have thought stray lead coming through the walls was much more troublesome.

Whew, finally got to the keyboard....dang cats always in the way.

Bellamy (Golden Retriever) is scared of everything, honestly. He cowers during thunderstorms, whimpers when it's raining outside even though he's shielded from the rain, and when we took him to the river the other day, well...

http://strawberii.net/IMG_4457.jpg

Zoe (English Setter) is a lot more ballsy, or maybe just stupid.

Anyway, last night, Bellamy was in the basement and yet still hid under the car to get away from the fireworks. We live at the top of a hill, so the fireworks were going off all around us. We took the dogs for a walk and it looked and sounded like a battle was going on. Bellamy stayed very close to me throughout the walk, but Zoe was pulling to the end of her lead. 'Course, Bellamy is mah baby.

The cats didn't seem to mind at all. We have six inside (Boo, Jyou, Suki, Little Man, Quatre, and Jackson) and two outside (Pete and Sam). I don't think the inside ones really noticed anything was going on because the house is pretty solid, but Pete and Sam didn't seem to think anything of it either. I guess living with two dogs outside has shocked their brains or something. That or it's because Pete is a crazy, chipmunk-decapitating psycho cat.
