Are your having  lots of people over for a barbeque this 4th of July?  Is your cat a bit high strung?  If so, you’ll want to follow a few simple rules for a stress free holiday. First of all, this is not the best time to introduce a new cat to the household.  Unfamiliar house quests can be a shock to your cat’s system and very few cats enjoy noise and parties. Find a safe, quiet retreat for your cat as far from all of the 4th of July festivities as possible. Leave her there until the last guests are gone.  Give her lots of attention. Pet her frequently because that reduces your stress as well as hers.. Have a safe and happy 4th!

Remember, your pets count!
