    Have you tried a thundershirt for your cat? I know it might sound a bit mad but a lot of people use them for dogs and swear by them. I saw an ad for them for cats in a magazine yesterday. They're made by Petlife international and are advertised as being available from petlifeonline.co.uk. I don't know if they're available in shops in Ireland. Thankfully my cats are ok with fireworks, but if yours is very stressed out it might be worth a try. I'm not associated in any way with the product, I just chanced across the ad.

    Its always best to check with your vet first. I have to admit I was very surprised to see them for cats. I've seen people on the pet forum recommend them for dogs over Halloween. I sometimes buy Your Cat magazine and it was in there that I saw the ad. If I tried to put it on mine I'd be eaten hee hee:D

    What does the thundershirt actually do, how does it prevent the cat or dog from becoming frightened?

    I honestly don't know. Its just something that I heard people recommending for dogs who are frightened by loud noises. Not sure if the cat version is a new thing or if it's been around for a while. I'm too lazy to google it today:p
