Freaked out felines
Last night was strong gusting winds. Same this morning with added horizontal
rain. So last night was noisy with the sound of the wind against the windows. Cue freaked out felines. My three really don't like the noise and are wide-eyed, unsettled, tail-lashing felines wandering from room to room in a most upset fashion. Poor beasties! |

When we had some real autumn storms here lately, I was surprised to discover that Caliban loves strong winds and horizontal rain! I had the door to the enclosure ajar, but Miranda mostly stayed inside, curled up on the cat tree. Then I would get to wondering where Caliban was, peek outside, and there he would be sitting, looking at the driving rain in wide-eyed wonder. The wind in the shrubbery outside my garden wall was also irresistible to him. As long as he sat in the innermost nook, under the balcony of the flat above mine, he could stay dry and watch the storm, and there he would sit for hours. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Rita loves thunderstorms, especially with lightning. She sits in the window, wide-eyed and fascinated, watching the storm outside. I've never seen a cat do that before. On the other hand, she's also not afraid of the sucky monster. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita |

He slinks down to the basement, creeping-Jesus fashion, and stays down there. The thing that really bothers me about the storm thing is that Stinky loves company more than anything, and it takes something really upsetting to send him off by himself. So he's miserable because he's scared by the storm, and he's miserable because he's alone. After awhile I go down there to check on him, and much of the time, he will literally fling himself into my arms. But he won't come back up with me. So a lot of the time, I end up staying down in the basement with him in my lap. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |

When we have a storm like that,I open the bedroom closet door so TuTu can go in and hide until it is quiet again. If she gets frightened while I am out, I usually find her under the covers on my bed. Scared cat! |

It never gets that cold here and the wind is kind of a novelty. They will tolerate almost any weather to avoid the indoor litterbox. The wind makes things move and they love to chase leaves etc. Kayla on the other hand. Bred for generations to tend to herds in the wild weather of northern England and Scotland, hates wind. She is OK with rain, and doesn't mind the cold. But she draws the line at wind. If she was a working dog with her own herd to care for they would be flat out of luck on windy days. (Or maybe she would just drive them into the least windy place she could find and make them stay there) Jo |

It's like that in Leicestershire too, started Saturday night and kept me awake until 4 a.m Sunday, howling winds and lashing rain. My greenhouse is in poor shape now :-( My cats seem to be oblivious to scary weather, and fireworks too. We seem to having some of the same today, purrs that your cats will settle like mine. KFC is unconscious in front of the fire and Boyfie is meatloafing on the kitchen rug pointing his face towards the door, considering whether or not to go out on rat patrol. I know he's not afraid of bad weather. I remember that he accompanied me to check the chicken hut roofs a while ago during a really bad storm in the night. He's just decided the rats can wait until tomorrow and got on to the settee. Wise choice, it's a bit wild out there! Other Brits, how's your weather? Breezy? Tweed Tweed |
