A frightened cat usually puffs up, flees, trembles, hisses, lowers its tail, and dilates its pupils. If the scare continues, stress responses may cause vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy, and in severe cases death.
Therefore, do not frequently scare cats; if frightened by fireworks or other things, comfort it and let it rest in a quiet, warm place. If symptoms are severe, take it to the vet promptly.
