Persia's Kicking Her Fear!

[Jill McQuown]

She's normally terrified of thunder. Runs and hides. Tonight a bad storm
rolled through and we lost electricity. She did her usual vanishing act.
But then the storm subsided and I woke up when the power came back on. She
wandered into the bedroom, meowing at me. Wanted pats and reassurance.

Well, the storm is back, but she's bravely standing by me. It's almost like
she's thinking "If Mom doesn't hide, then I don't have to, either." I keep
patting her and giving her reassuring scratches. She's actually rolled over
on her back for belly rubs! Good girl! It's just noisy weather :)

Aww, what a brave little girl! Good for you for encouraging her with all
those well-deserved scratches and rubs. :)

We used to have a beloved cat named DurDur who was so terrified of thunder
he would go hide behind the dryer in the laundry room and after the storm
when we went to find him, a huge dustbunny would emerge from behind where
the vent was; only to be immediately snatched up and cleaned off by his
hoomins. We dearly loved him, but he never got over his "thunder terror".

Emily's afraid of thunder, too. She has various hiding places throughout
the house, and runs from one to another depending on where I am - she tries
to hide as close to me as she can.
