Do You Get Your Cats In Before A Storm?

That's like Mitten, she doesn't want to be around the other cats, so she won't come in.

That's such a cute name for your cat "Mitten" I love it!

I had a cat once that didn't want to go outside. She was really special. Now I all my cats go in and out except one and that's BB which stands for Big Boy. He's a stray that we took under our wing and he just doesn't want to come in.

Well at least they are all home save and sound, just going up your blog and looking at all your lovely fur babies, they are all just so adorable....i need to update my cats on here...my latest is Tyson rescued from our local shelter at christmas. luv tara xx

My stubborn stink pot Chopper came home this morning a little wet but ok. He found shelter somewhere although it wasn't the best as home would've been which I'm sure he learned that lesson last night because it rained in sheets! Wind was howling and carrying on like a nut case! Whew! One other cat wouldn't come in is Sammy but gosh when the rain let up some, he was in the window begging to get inside!! I told him "I told you so!" lol and had to get a towel to dry him off some. He was more than happy to stay inside for the night. Chopper on the other hand is a very independant cat and won't come unless he's darn good and ready to. Same with Sammy but he came at the first chance he got. lol Here's a picture of Sassy, the one I took in for Oreo. She's a real sweetie!

Hi gabs! You must've had some brainy cats because none of mine will come in before a storm. But when one comes on, boy they fly to the porch and windows begging to come in, that is the ones that do come in. I'm like you, I'd rather have my babies in the house during a storm so I'll know they're safe. The storm we had last night was pretty bad in some areas, in fact, a roof flew off a house a few miles from us so I was really worried about getting Chopper and another, Sammy in but I couldn't get either one but once the storm let up some, Sammy was in the window begging to get in. lol I told him "I told you so!" lol Chopper came in this morning and he's doing fine, a little wet but fine nonetheless. Here's a picture of my Bobo. He's a sweetheart just like the others.

Hi Terry! Are you nutty kitty lovers? lol I'd say YES!! and with pride! I don't know what I'd do without my cats and dogs too of course! I had another one that wouldn't come in - Sammy but then the rain came down in sheets and when it let up some, here was Sammy in the window begging to get in!! LOL I told him "I told you so!" and had to get a towel to dry him off. He was more than happy to be inside for the rest of the night. Chopper on the other hand didn't come in till this morning. He was a little wet so what ever shelter he found wasn't all that great but he survived. He's such an independant little guy and will come when he feels he's good and ready to, just like Sammy. Here's a picture of two of my cats who did come inside, Rascal and Music.

Oh shoot!! I meant to say are WE nutty kitty lovers!! LMBO!! Sorry Terry!! Yikes!! LOL

Sorry for being so late at responding! Your cat must not have any sense of danger to be sitting on a car in a storm. Sammy decided to come in after the storm let up for a few minutes but Chopper came in in the morning.

OMG, I couldn't leave them behind knowing there's a chance of the tornato hitting my place. No offense hon, seriously but gosh, like hurricane Katrina, if my pets can't go then I'm not leaving. What about getting a carrier for the both of them or one for each of them so you can take them with you so they'll be safe? I'd be worried sick if I had to leave them behind which I would never do. I have 9 cats and some how they're all going with me where ever I go such as moving or shelter. They're my babies. lol I have 5 dogs too and they're all like family.

Trust me! I hate it but, it isn't my house. I do have 3 carriers for all 3 of them. And, my neighbors have 2 dogs with storm stress. If I could take them, I would. But, I can't as my neighbors already have their 2 kids, their two dogs, and us to worry about. The hubby and I have decided that, while we love our home, the next house we get will have a basement. It was a mistake that we learned from And, my cats and dog are like my kids. I am usually choking back tears when we leave them behind to seek shelter with the neighbors.

I'm a worry wart and I know it but I can't help it because they're my babies. Like you, I worry about them getting hurt and running into the wild but then again, I know they're happy being free and able to climb trees, chase leaves and each other among all the other things that they do so if they were to get killed, it would break my heart in two no doubt but I'll know that at least they were happy doing what they love best. It's the only consolation I get but it sure beats having them be miserable inside when they so love being outdoors. Now if one of my cats doesn't like going out, I wouldn't make them. My cat Gracie doesn't like going out for long so I have to keep an eye on her because I know she'll be wanting back in soon after she goes out. Here's a picture of her. She's my baby girl.

Isn't it funny how they're all so darned different?! lol I have 9 cats and every one of them are different but I love each and every one of them! I had another one that wouldn't come in but he's skittish as all get out. His name is Sammy. He's a stray that adopted us and won't come to us until he's good and ready to. I tried to get him to come to me or hoped he'd stay still long enough for me to go to him but he took off every time so I had no choice but to give up but let me tell ya, when the rain came down in sheets, literally, and then it let up some, he was in my window immediatly!! LOL I said to him "I told you so!!" and had to get a dry towel to dry him off. He was more than happy to be inside then! lol
