My cats can get very upset when a storm is coming. My cats will run and hide in the basement. If my cats are in bed with me at night, they will meow nervously. My cats tend to lay as close to me in bed if it is thundering. I had one cat look up at the heavens when it grumbled loudly, and a tornado warning was issued. Suddenly, she ran to the basement, and I decided to follow suit. The winds were horrific, and I lost large branches from the trees and the roof of one of my buildings. The cats and I were OK.
I have trained my cats to run down to the basement when I call them. Cat Treats are an excellent way to train your cat. You do not have time to locate all your cats when a tornado rapidly approaches your home. All I have to do is call my cats with a sense of urgency in my voice, and they join me safely in the basement of my home.
Animals have a keen sense of the weather, and one should always take their cues regarding the weather situation. My friend had a cat that ran under her couch when they issued a tornado warning on the radio. When they sounded all clear, she came out from under the couch one minute later.
My cats often move around in the basement when the winds are horrific. If my cats look out of a window, they watch the tree branches move back and forth. Their tails swing rapidly back and forth as they state their distaste for the weather through their wild tail movement. Listen to your cats’ keen sense of weather changes. I hope you and your cats survive the storms in nature.
