INDEPENDENCE DAY

 I think I was being very sweet and nice, when the ZH asked me to "pose"
on this old blanket.  I know I should really celebrate this holiday, as I am
a very "independent" cat.  But the truth is: I have now put on ear muffs,
the blanket is over my head, and I am hiding in the closet under some
old clothes.  I HATE the BOOM BOOMS! 
Don't know what's wrong with that girl.  BOOM-BOOMS don't bother
me one little bit.  So I'm putting on my top hat, gathering my sparklers
and heading down to Riverfront Park in the village. 
It's gonna be a grand show!
Have a safe and fun holiday!  We'll be back on Tuesday.

  1. Happy 4th of July friend. I don't really like the boom boom either, but I go in basement family room where it's quiet and sit on a lap! Don't hear a thing down there.

  2. We have similar attitudes here. Thunder is not bothered at all. Phantom has been upset by fireworks in the past but seems to have gotten better now that he doesn't hear very much. And Ciara - we are waiting to see, she started to be a t-storm worrier this year, but hopefully it won't carry over to the bang bangs this weekend.

    The humans say they will just watch them on the Tube.

    Have lots of fun, Zoey. And Maggy, we sure hope those ear muffs help.

    Happy Fourth.

    Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  8. I remember the very first time Sweet Praline heard the boom booms when I moved into my house. After the first one went off, there was a tortie streak underneath my desk and into the closet. After that first year, they didn't bother her. I miss my little Diva!

    Have a safe and happy Independence Day!

  9. Barkies here in the SouthWoods get really nasty mouthed about the BOOM BOOMS and they yap and they yap. We are more laid back. We just crawl up in our beans' laps or in their arms and hide our heads. More fun that way.

    Anyways, happy 4th to one and all.

    Y'all come see us sometime, OK?
