Do you love the sound of the rain at night?

I will not turn on my music tonight, though I may play some guitar. It is raining out tonight, and Kitty has been alternately napping and asking me for some deep back rubs. When I hear her purring, and the rain gently falling, I am satisfied. Yes, she took the next step, and got me to feed her a bit inside, but she knows that her "main" food bowl is outside. At least I think so. The hour is late, so I will grab one of my guitars and play a bit before I sleep. I really enjoy the sound of a gentle rain.

That's exactly how I feel. The rain has stopped Now, but the ground is still wet. It's cold out, so I bet there's snow on Mt. Diablo.

Hmmm... how did she "get you to feed her a bit inside"? It sounds like she is training you up very well, pony.

@TheHorse Maybe you should invite the raccoons inside, too?

She is. I think it was a combination of raccoons and rain.

You’re Eddie Rabbitt, huh, you love a rainy night! I frequently go to sleep with rain sounds playing, so yes, I find it enjoyable and soothing.

It rains here a lot. I have a steel fire roof on my cabin so can really here it amplified. My kitty just took off with my socks. I took them off to put on warmer slippers and she took advantage. Weird cat.

@TheHorse I don't know what it is about this cat and socks. She flips them like she does her play mice and meows loudly while doing it.

@noni1959 Kitty went crazy over her Dollar Tree mouse this evening. But she usually ignores it. Is she secretly a pycho cat?

@TheHorse our house got flooded during the night. We were busy enjoying our sleep when the house was slowly flooding.

@mosherii Was anything damaged? A late 19th Century publication of a Mark Twain book I own was damgaed in a Midwestern flood. I am still traumatized.

For me, rainwater is God's blessing from the sky, so whenever rain comes, I really enjoy it. Because the atmosphere will be quieter than usual and the soul will calm down.
