Both of my cats are indoor-only, and usually don't seem to be
bothered by rain. However, today for some reason, they are very
restless.

They've gotten into the habit of spending most of the day on my bed,
with Koala usually under the quilt on top. They may come out to ask
for treats when I'm fixing my lunch, but usually they go back to the
bed by the time I sit down to eat.

I eat my meals in my recliner. Today they were both in the living
room while I ate my lunch. Pickles jumped up in my lap as I started
to eat, and I encouraged her to get down, since I don't allow cats on
my lap while I'm eating. I had barely finished when Koala jumped up.
He walked around on my lap, checked out the small tables on each side
of my chair, then jumped down. About a minute later he repeated the
process. He did this several times, once lying down, but getting up
almost immediately. A little later Pickles came up and settled on my
lap for several minutes.

I wonder what's different about this rain to make them so restless.
There's no thunder an lightning.

Barometric pressure changes, infra sound, change in electric fields, a
combination of things...


Besides which, if we could understand them they wouldn't be cats. ;-)


So true!

Just when a person does think you understand them they change again!!!


That's pretty much how I feel about Facebook.

Whenever you feel anger, you should say, "May I be free of this
anger!" This rarely works, but talking to yourself in public will
encourage others to leave you alone.
