We had lots of thunder and lightning yesterday about sunup. I learned
that I now have two that are afraid of lightning. When the storm
started I knew Sammy would be scared, so I went and got in bed where
she was hiding under the covers. I've written about her fear before.
I'm not so sure she's really afraid anymore, as soon I get in bed she
starts to purr. After awhile I realised Spotty hadn't followed me to
bed. Usually she hops up on the bed right after I get in bed and
settles down and goes to sleep. So I went looking for her and found
her hiding in the bathtub from the storm. When she realised I had
found her hiding plce she came out and followed me to bed, but at the
next thunderboom she went back to the tub - not a bad thing really, as
they tell us that one of the safer places to take shelter. Little Bit,
who panics if it starts to rain when she's in the OUT, doesn't mind
storms in the least when she's safely inside watching through the
window. She seems to enjoy watching the light show, though she will go
into hiding if it starts to hail.

That was the loudest thunder I have ever heard. Bosley jumped up on the
bed and got so close he was practically on top of me. I didn't know he
was scared of thunder!
