You and the kitties have my sympathy. I really hate fireworks. Some child
always ends up getting hurt, they frighten animals, caause grass fires and
they are the last tool some obnoxious teenager needs to wreak havoc with.
I wish on the 4th of July here the fireworks would be limited to public
displays set off by professionals.

They ARE, in much of the United States - although there are always some
people who manage to get hold of them illegally, and set them off.
Where do you live?
