2. Provide lots of hiding places like boxes, clamshell or cave style beds, cat tree cubbies, etc. 3. Consider making a quiet room, i.e. put their food, water, litter, bedding, toys, etc. in one closed room - especially if you're having a party. 4. Implement buffer noises such as fans and soft music.

5. Engage them in play if they're into it! It can be a good distraction and tire them out. 6. If your cat is hiding, it's probably best to leave them alone or just speak to them in a soft voice. Don't drag them out to "comfort" them - it may have the opposite effect.

I wouldn’t put soft music on, I’d put my favorite popcorn flick/action movie/music playlist on medium volume. Something that the cats are used to hearing & ignore. And a couple of stinky/sweaty pieces of clothing if they tend to be clingy.

I tried buffer noise tonight and it worked! I turned on the air conditioner, air purifier, and tv. No spooked pets! Thanks for making this post!
