Even indoor cats complain about the weather
Pickles and Waffles - especially Waffles - are NOT happy! It has been
raining here, and we're getting the occasional thunderstorm. When the thunder booms, or the rain suddenly becomes a downpour, they don't like it. I've had one or the other of them on my lap quite a bit this morning. At one point, Waffles came in to where I'm sitting at the computer, and his eyes were so dilated I could hardly see the irises. After a spell on my lap, the pupils decreased in size, but they're still pretty large. A while ago, he was in the hallway when thunder boomed. He looked anxiously at the ceiling. It has quieted down now, and so has he. He's sleeping now, probably exhausted from all that adrenaline. -- Joy I'd been told the training process with cats was difficult. It's not. Mine had me trained in two days. - Comedian Bill Dana |

It was very loud, as though the storm was right over my head, and maybe it was. Predictably, Licky was rattled by it. Even Roxy, who is usually pretty mellow, looked uneasy. Every time the thunder rumbled and banged over our heads, cat ears would start swiveling all over the place. Licky looked poised to bolt, but he didn't. I believe that had something to do with it being dinner time. I did notice that neither of them missed out on that. -- Joyce What I look forward to, is continued immaturity, followed by death. -- Dave Barry |

The Fabulous Furballs are not fond of thunder but take their lead from
us- if we're not concerned they're not but you can always tells when there's going to be a big storm when they come in the same room as us and sit very close to us Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
