We don't open our curtains after dark, so my cats have never seen fireworks,
but they don't appear to be bothered by the noises (thank goodness since our
idiot neighbors spend thousands of dollars in fireworks at least twice a
year).

All sales on fireworks have been banned this year in and around Houston.
The chance of more wild fires and the danger to homes is too great to
risk even a "sparkler" to ignite the draught ravaged foliage. That's
perfectly understandable to me - why take the chance of some dumb@44
setting the city on fire.

However, they're still planning a "Freedom Celebration" in Houston and
some surrounding cities. Huh? Are their fireworks somehow different
from privately owned fireworks? Are the parks and other places they're
planned somehow spared from the draught? There is still a big "debate"
about this going on, but as of right now, the celebrations are going to
go ahead as planned.

What do you think? Should city-run fireworks be banned also, or allowed?

Banned. Totally. Texas does not need more fires, even tiny ones, in this
difficult year. I've seen the horrible news photos.

Also, since this is a cat group, I read somewhere that cats are
notoriously frightened by fireworks, both by the lights and by the noises.
Not that any cat lover would think of placing a cat in such a scary
setting. I assume this is true?
