Happy Independence Day to all of our friends
Who are celebrating Independence Day this week!
How are you celebrating this important holiday?
We are gathering with our community to celebrate
Our liberty and freedom with a concert and fireworks!
Wherever you are, have a safe and festive holiday and
Remember to keep your pets safe this holiday!
Where Are The Cats?
Cats do NOT like loud noises!
Cats do NOT like fireworks!
Every day is Independence Day for Cats!
Since we live in a rather celebratory community –
Our cats have decided to a few days off!
They’ve asked us to share the following videos with you.
They look forward to seeing you when things quiet down a bit!
Some cats are more patriotic than others…

Nothing like starting the month with a bang. Unless you are a pet of course!
sadly so many people forget that animals hate loud noises especially fireworks. Thankfully I live in the country and do not have to worry about my animals hearing them. Beautiful and give the kitties extra rubs.

I am amazed at all of the people who bring their dogs to the fireworks each year.
We shut our home up tightly before we go and leave the TV on to help minimize the noise for our cats.
Thanks for joining us Suzie – enjoy your week! 🙂

Generally, I find fireworks really hard to capture. You got some great shots.

I saved a few more to share on Friendship Friday! 🙂

I almost did a fireworks post this week, not because of 4th of July because we don’t celebrate that here in Perth but due to the fact I’ve been looking over old photos and I never seem to get the perfect fireworks shot.
Happy Tuesday. Thank you for hosting, it is always a pleasure joining the party and seeing the great posts.
Blessings,
Shari
Beautiful firework shots!
Can’t blame the kitties, those displays are loud!

Have a wonderful week Fabby! You are one of my super special friends – I look forward to seeing you at ALL our parties!
I’m glad I found some patriotic kitties to share.
I don’t think mine would take kindly if I tried to dress them up in red, white and blue!
The poor kitties. They do HATE fireworks. Mine will be under the bed as well!
Your WW posts are always cute, but especially this one! Have a happy 4th of July. ^.^

Yes poor animals that are left outside in fireworks go berserk, poo things!
Only three words, with this one:

Oh dear such a pity they don’t enjoy the fireworks. it’s so beautiful!

Yes – but pets and fireworks don’t mix!
Love the fireworks!
I was wondering where your beautiful cats were! : )
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1

I really was torn between the fireworks and the cats (whenever the cats take the day off, my readers revolt – lol!) – so I figured out a way to incorporate them both (and hopefully, make everyone happy for the holidays! 🙂

Awwwww Those are two cute videos. I keep thinking the fourth is on Monday!!! I better stop that or I’m gonna miss it! LOL My black lab does the same thing when the fire crackers goes off unless she’s in one of her moods then it’s non-stop barking! Oh my aching head! Any headache remedies??? Thanks for the linky my friend. Come over and see what I got in the mail. ~snicker-snicker~

Oh my goodness – how did you fit THAT in an envelope! 🙂
Don’t miss the 4th! And don’t miss Friendship Friday this week!
Monday’s aren’t the only day we rock things out!
I don’t blame the kitties for being scarce for awhile.
However, I love the 4th and fireworks! I hope to see a display and maybe a concert as well.

I am so glad we don’t get much in the way of fireworks here on the 4th… of course, it is because we are in a high fire hazard zone, so my human is always nervous this time of year!
Happy Independence Day to you. Lovely firework pics. 🙂 Here’s my entry for this week. : http://anotherday2paradise.wordpress.com/2014/07/02/wordless-wednesday-bottoms-up/
Nice pics. Yea T will hide in the closet and Baby will snuggle so close to me I can’t move. Unfortunately the folks who live behind me will be partying and shooting fireworks off until the wee hours of morning both Friday and Saturday nights. Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #53

Thanks as always for hosting. Happy WW and Happy Fourth!
Wow! I’m impressed with those fireworks pictures. Beautiful pictures!
Also, so true about the kitties. Our older two cats don’t seem to care about the noise anymore, but our poor youngest always hides.
Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July holiday! Here is my contribution: http://livingwithmyancestors.wordpress.com/2014/07/02/wordless-wednesday/
Happy 4th of July to you and yours! We will be hanging out at home and watching all of the fireworks going off around the neighborhood. Cinco and Manna will likely spend the evening hiding under the bed. They will get some lovin’ as soon as they decide to come out.
Lots of pretty ones from last year. We can normally see a few communities from the top of our hill in the back yard. Not as close but not too much noise for any fur-babies 🙂
Have a wonderful Independence day!

Wishing you and the cats a very happy Fourth!
Thanks for the linky, I linked up!
Happy Wordless Wednesday 🙂
What beautiful fireworks! I always end up with photos of wacky streaks or tiny dots – this strengthens my resolve to keep trying to fiddle with those camera settings. One day I’ll figure it out. Right?

Don’t give up Sheryl – the first year I tried, mine turned out the way you described too!
With practice, they get better! 🙂
LOVE your firework pics! SO so gorgeous.
Your fireworks pics are beautiful! I always fail to capture the beauty of them myself. Cute post!
