Whenever you have a party, remember not all pets are party animals. Boisterous fun, loud noises and fireworks cause pet stress and anxiety. When you are having a party, lock your pets up in a room with food and water and include kitty litter for your cat. Also make sure your dog gets a potty break before hand too.
If your cat loves to drink water from a running tap, consider getting a drinking fountain for her. Cats in the wild drink running water and a pet drinking fountain recreates this in the home.
