Not what you think
. Really just wondering if anyone has an explanation for this behavior. I lived in the country for almost 30 years, first with my parents, and then on the same property when my husband and I set up a mobile home. Being in the country, you would hear the occasional gun shots as folks would do in some vermin or other (usually snakes, we had more than our fair share of cottonmouth moccasins,) or just target practice. Whenever Melichus or Annie heard a gunshot they would growl, and their eyes would get big. Sometimes they would stalk around the trailer as if looking for the source of it. Reminiscing with my husband I suddenly remembered that the other cats down at my mom's had done the same thing, although in their case it would not be so surprising since they were indoor/outdoor cats. I can't recall any other noise setting them off like that.
Speculations? Maybe even though the shots were hardly right outside there would be some vibrations that were undetectable to us or some such? I just thought it was/is odd.
