time in
two years (at least I don't remember her doing this before) she didn't
get
out of her bed for breakfast. She didn't meow at me. She did eat a bit,

then usually she goes and scratches on the scratching post, but today
she
meatloafed. *sigh*. I will see what lunchtime brings.

Aw purrs that it's just the change in the seasons and not some
forewarning of possible illness.

If I pay attention I can tell when the weather is going to change by
watching LB and Rocky - Sammy seems to be useless for weather
forecasting (except for a couple hours before thunderstorms) -
probably since she has never had to worry about finding shelter in the
OUT.


Clifford (RB) generally liked thunderstorms and fireworks from inside
the house -- he'd rush to a window, while Chatterley (RB) hid. On one
memorable occasion, however, my workshop double doors weren't securely
latched, and, as Clifford strolled by, were blown open by a gust and he
was instantly drenched.

He ran to his hoomins, most indignant. It was clearly not fear, not
anger, but a sense that the proprieties had been violated. He much
appreciated lots of towels and a radiant heater.

ROTFL

Sammy and LB sound like your two. Sammy hides while LB finds a good
spot to watch the light show. LB does hide if it starts to hail,
though.

Awwww, purrs for Pearl. I hope she's feeling better by now.

Found another hairball. She seems pretty perky since then. I think it must
have been that.
