It’s the firecrackers. They make my cats insane, too.
We don’t need to own an insane cat(*). Our neighbors have one, and she visits our house on a regular basis.
P.S. I’m sure that Bill would consider the adjective superfluous (meaning implicit in the noun).
Our hurricane-impact-quality sliders and windows also have the effect of deadening or blocking sounds, so the dogs (six this week) don’t hear thunder or fireworks (they see lightning, but that’s not quite so bark-worthy to them); in fact, Hubby and I and nine dogs slept thru the night H. Irma came thru in September 2017.
I’d go with “redundant” myself, Kilby.
Anyway, as everybody knows, I don’t understand enough about cats to label them as insane.
What’s to understand?
@ Bill – Thanks, that’s exactly the adjective that had slipped my mind and refused to yield to a cursory search.
Of the six currently in residence, only one was noisy . . . put her in a crate in the back bathroom and all was quiet . . . everything quit at 10 p.m.
Last year we were home on July 4th (and the days around it) for the first time in I don’t know how long. We live in a state where fireworks of all sorts are illegal. We are normally in PA where fireworks have been legal. I thought the house was under siege by a foreign army. I have never heard so much (many?) fireworks even at professional shows. I was afraid the house would catch fire. (And I don’t mean when I set the smoke detector off for 2 hours with smoke from a pan that had not been used in awhile – and even after the smoke was gone – the detector continued – took an hour before I figured out how to text Robert (does not hear well, on side of our small house, upstairs, door closed, TV and ac on so he did not hear) what was going on. I hand to stand on toes on chair (kitchen door open, pan off the stove) to push the button to stop the smoke detector and then it started again before I get off the chair to get my mobile phone to text him. Then he came down when I did, and he stood on the chair pushing the button. It is one of these new 10 year ones – need tools to take down – does not just unscrew by hand – and when the battery comes out, it has to be thrown out.)
Next year July 4th is on Saturday. We will be home on same as otherwise we would driving home on the 4th and having done so in the past – in PA and NJ (where fireworks are legal) one hears or sees a bit of them in the distance while driving. When one comes to NY (NYC area) where they are illegal, they are going off all over – even being thrown lit from cars on the parkway (main, major road).

Redundant vs. superfluous reminded me of this:
On the subject of fireworks and pets:
