What should I do if a loud noise scared my cat?

If a loud noise scared your cat, try to comfort and reassure them by speaking softly and petting them gently. Create a safe and quiet space for them to retreat to, and avoid making sudden loud noises. Give your cat time to calm down and offer treats or toys to help distract them from the fear. If your cat continues to show signs of distress, consider consulting a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further guidance.
