Someone posted a thread a few weeks ago about how their pets react during a storm. I can't seem to find the post.
Last night we had very loud thunder and lightening for a couple hours. I was watching television and goofing around on FB. Someone posted that their kids were upset about the storm. I looked over at Buddy and here is his apparent reaction to loud storms.

LOL, that would be mine. Dunno where it went, I think it was in Pet General, but no matter, to Buddy storms seem as startling as soft paino music. He looks to be so comfty! Wow, he has some gorgeous markings too.

Only one of my many cats shows anxiety during heavy rain/storms. Schuyler is getting more relaxed about the weather lately, as we have had so many storms with the latest being Irene. Could be the other cats' nonchalance (like Buddy's utter relaxation) to inclement weather has persuaded him not to fret as much.

LOL! That storm doesn't seem to affect Buddy at all - could he be any more relaxed!
It it gets too loud here, Fister will go under the bed, but he is fairly brave up to a certain point.
Love that picture!

Mordred is my storm alert: at the very first sound of thunder, he disappears; I know the storm is about over when he reappears. He's 10 and been like that all his life.

Ah Buddy that storm just lulled you to sleep
Our Eve is a storm watchershe gets very intense and has to be at an open window (screened of course
) and can't get enough!! Our cat sitter didn't believe it until she had Eve in her cattery for a week of stormy weather ... it is an indoor/outdoor kennel and Eve insisted on staying in her outdoor enclosure so she could watch
All the other kitties were tucked into their blankies
Eve loves fireworks as well - who knew a cat could be an adrenaline junkie

That is so interesting that she likes to watch the storms. My cats are fascinated when it snows in the winter. They just sit and watch the flakes coming down.Originally Posted by Bengalz

This is because if it isnt a tornado... it cant be a bad sign, so basically only natural disasters like a hurricane or tornado could wind up a cat to hide under your bed or something with a low space where they would be safe other than the bathroom.
The basement (if you have one) would be most-likely safe for every living thing (DONT TRY TO SAVE A PLANT) hahahahhhh so not worthit but yeh you need to save yourself first even if your can flys up into the air... i would care for my pet. but i want to live too!! its your choice tho XD but back to subject
yes you need to just go look at your cat or dog and see what their reaction is to the weather. if a cat is looking alert, flicking its ears to sound, eyes open and then running away from you even if they do love you. this means many things but, when raining, means a bad sign of a tornado or other wind disaster. now if a flood warning comes, you NEED to save your cat unless it is already in a high place.
your welcome for the tip ^^ aaaand...other off subject stuffs :/ srry bout that...

My cat has the biggest sPaz, when he hears thunder he shoots to my bed and skids around the corner into my room, he won't come out until a few hours after the storm stops
