Why was she so nervous?

Yes mine get scared like that.. But they go under the beds & or into the walk-in closets that I always keep the doors cracked open.. You know animals can sense things that we humans know nothing about.. Maybe she was telling you Laura to take cover.. Maybe next time get on the floor with her & sit beside her under the table or where ever.. Glad all turned out ok & everybody is ok..

sig hides. usually in my daughter's bedroom either under her desk or her bed. he's scared of everything. which is new to me, because absolutely nothing fased chuck (rb). sig will go and hide when the garbage truck is outside the house.

Thing is, Giz has never been bothered by any storms. We had a bad one the other day that lasted a long time, thunder, lightening, wind and a downpour.. She wasn't bothered in the least by it. She isn't afraid of sudden loud noises either.. This however, had her really nervous and she has never been a nervous little girl. This was the very first time I saw her nervous over anything...

i wonder if it's because even tho a storm has passed, there is still the threat of lighting sometimes. and you know how your hair stands on end when lightning strikes close? i wonder if cats can sense this electrical sensation more than us. they say that cats can actually HEAR electricity go from a light switch when you flip it, flow to the light before it comes on. their hearing is so acute and they also have elevated senses. you'd think their whiskers would be pulling in all kinds of "data" in a storm.

She certainly must have sensed something. Amazing how they do that.

Cats Do Have Senses And Perceptions That Are Beyond Ours And Maybe Something Just Struck Gis As Being Ominous, Something That She Was Trying To Communicate To You.

That is exactly how I felt watching her Gary! I kept waiting for a tornado to hit or lightening to get us but NOTHING happened!

That is about the most logical thing thought of yet... she sensed something that none of the rest of us sensed or felt. The other girls were watching her, as puzzeled as I was.

That is what I was going to say, maybe she felt the static.
