    Do your cats fear thunderstorms?

    Just wondering because over here, a thunderstorm's just coming up, and I noticed that Lily is always running out of the room as soon as she hears the first thunder. Go figure! Lily, who does not fear anything else, is afraid of thunder, while Luna, who's usually the scared one, couldn't care less! LOL

    What about your kitties?

    Oh yes, indeed. We've been having thunderstorms this morning, and several of ours have taken refuge under the bed.

    Chester was the only one I had that was terrified by them. However, since Gustav Giz and Boo now run and hide when one is coming, preferring to get in a kitchen cabinet until it is over.. They are getting better as time passes and the memory fades.

    Well, Catmandu, they have you trained well.

    Sam, who is terrified of the vets and new places, doesn't flinch about rain or storms. Spunky, loves to explore, yet runs at the first sign of a hard rain.

    Spunky has me well trained, too.

    Oh yes, my girlies are not too fond of thunderstorms. Fortunately they are fairly rare here.

    Peaches is afraid of thunderstorms. But after what she has been through, I don't blame her.
