Cats and Rainy days

I have no idea, but it rained all night last night and my cats were extra crazy! I woke up to small table overturned and everything that was on top was scattered all over the floor, including a big cup of coins.

Uh oh! They sure leave a mess behind them don't they!!!! I had been taking some sudafed for nighttime for my severe congestion (from allergies) and this morning hubby said that I was in a dead sleep that I did not wake up when the cats were running around on the bed. Im surprised because I am usually a very light sleeper
But when I got up after hubby woke me up before he went to school, I stayed awake because of their wild antics - they have a game in which they chase each other in every room in the apartment.
Right now, they are resting, but I don't think it will be for long as its still raining out here (which is a blessing for my allergies)

Abby, I've always heard that too. I seem to remember learning in Jr. High science that the change in barometric pressure as well as the elevated static charge in the air before a thunderstorm will cause cats to groom more frequently. It's amazing what our little furballs can pick up on ('course, we probably could, too, if we didn't have the Weather Channel to rely on!
) And if they've ever been caught out in a storm, like my poor Tigger, they'll probably be a bit fraidy-cat too!
I've noticed this when it is windy too. All my cats are crazy if it is windy outside, as if they don't know what to make of it, and just don't like it. It is as if they are afraid.
Cilla,
Wind is also an indication of changing barometric pressure. I don't know, and I don't think science fully understands, why kitties are so sensitive to the weather, but that's just one of life's great mysteries, I guess!
Sam snuck out once (and only once)...He spent the nite under the back porch while it rained and stormed. After I found him and made sure he was fine I scolded him for sneaking out and that it served him right to have to stay under the porch!
He still will try to stick his head out the door but I say "Shame on Sammy-cat!" and he runs away.
