Cats and Storms

[AvaJoy]

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 What a cutie!!

Our Eve is a storm watcher she 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.
