Suddenly, it’s that time of year again. The boom, bangs and big noise time. Time to extend Quint’s safe place fort with blankets and boxes tucked between an old couch and chair, both of which are slated for donation, creating room to include all the kitties, toys and Mom who wouldn’t dare attend a 4th of July cat party without treats, a flashlight and cat books to read out loud. Perennial favorites include Cats for the Genius by Ramona Marek and I Could Pee on This by Francesco Marciuliano.
On Friday the 4th, everything outside that might catch a spark will be watered down and though fireworks are illegal here, we’re just outside the official city limits and where everyone seems to come to fire those off, regardless of what day it is. This year, we’re thinking of it as people choosing to support the economy by paying to blow up their dollars. Whatever works!
As is tradition here at Colehaus, we’ll be away from blogging until next week when, hopefully, the nightly 2 a.m. fireworks will have died down a little. Have a very safe 4th of July holiday. See you on Monday, July 7th.

I hope it is not too prolonged and the cats can cope with it. Eric used to love November 5th and sit at the window and watch the organised display at the village across the river. We are far enough away for it to be fairly muted.
Here’s hoping it’s a quieter celebration this year for you all.
Although Quint looks quite fetching in his fort.
dood….eye noe….they haz been shootin em off now heer for dayz….eye am knot two smart with numburrz, but even eye noe itz KNOT fry day de forth ~~~~
We feel you. Fireworks are illegal here, too, but it somehow does not stop people from setting them off. Paws crossed for a somehow quieter 4th there at Colehaus.
They are illegal here, but people go to a state over a buy them. I hate fireworks.
Have a nice and hopefully quiet 4th! XO
Stay safe and I hope they quit early this year.
