Phouka is so Zen

I've had animals before that totally freaked out on the 4th, and I've had animals that were OK with it, but I've never had one like Phouka.

At the beginning his head would come up at a particularly loud bang but now he doesn't even do that. When a big one goes off fairly close his ears may twitch a bit but that's it. Earlier he didn't go out onto the balcony but sat right in the open doorway watching the show. Now he's lying on the desk beside me in a half doze during the rocket's red glare with those star bursts and the air crackle-popping like someone twisting bubble wrap with the much deeper booms in the background.

Phouka-the-cat is so very fucking Zen.
