Needy when it rains
Does anyone else's cat get all pitiful and needy when it rains? My
Bartleby, a large, very strong "alpha male" type, gets all pathetic when it rains. He doesn't go outside, so it's not like he's all sad that he can't go out. He gets very lovey with me, curls up on my lap, meows constantly, throws himself up against me, etc. Sometimes if it's really raining hard, he will hide in the basement or under the bed. I don't know why he's so affected by the weather. Is my cat just weird? -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

As for the hiding bit - could be the noise of it scares him. Tennessee hides whenever there's a loud noise (thunder, car backfiring, TV turned up during a movie that has lotsa explosions). --?

I don't know why he's so affected by the weather. Is my cat just weird? Well, maybe, but Stinky-- the usually imperturbable-- hates rainstorms. He goes downstairs "creepin' Jesus" style, and hides. I figure he must not want to be alone when he's so scared, so I go down to check on him. Sure enough, he usually *flings* himself at me, into my arms. But he won't be induced to come back up until it stops. A lot of times I will stay down there with him, cuddling him until he feels like it's safe to come back up. Not enslaved, oh no, not I. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |

Mine get very sleepy. Usually when I come home for lunch they all want
attention but if it is gloomy and raining, they barely open an eye. "KellyH" wrote in message news:HXnrd.596613$mD.51496@attbi_s02... Does anyone else's cat get all pitiful and needy when it rains?

Well he seems different, its usually said that rain is on the way when a
cat goes racing round the house and climbing the curtains, and so on, and so on, I've never heard of one getting sooky, but, it takes all sorts they say, he's just an individual love to Bartleby from Wilson.
