Weather Cats

[Kieka]

Whenever it rains, as long as there is no thunder, Link likes to go outside and get soaking wet. Then he comes in dripping and proceeds to demand love and affection from the nearest human. It's the only time he is reliably and consistently affectionate. He seems to really enjoy waking me up at 3am to let me know it's raining. Like last night, when he woke me up with wet paws on my chin to demand I start petting him.

Here he is all proud with himself a little later when he had dried off.

Anyone else have a cat who likes to let you know the weather?

How cute! Mine are the opposite--they will stick their noses outside and if there's even the slightest whiff of dampness, they won't step a delicate paw out the door.

That's Rocket. She gives me a look like, "Mom, turn off the rain. Now.... It's still on Mom."

Moo Shu adores snow, as long as she's inside, safe and warm. Here she is, scratching like mad at the glass, trying to catch the snowflakes:

Gwen also enjoyed watching a good snowstorm out the window, especially if it was also blizzard-y and the flakes were blowing around a lot.

Juniper really dislikes rain. It does make a fair amount of noise as it hits the window a/c units, and I think she finds it annoying. It also means that we close the windows (which are otherwise wide open all the time, since our apartment is heated to desert-like temps, courtesy of our co-op management), and she misses out on all the interesting smells and other noises.

Kieka , maybe Link dreams of a career as a weather forecaster...

Charlie and Selene love to watch snow too, and Selene goes crazy pawing the window.

No doubt about it... it's raining.

Missy loves it to be rubbed dry with a (warm) towel

This is more about not liking the weather than anything else, but yesterday, when we hit out peak of 92º and the rain began, Scottiecat looked like a limp dishrag:

I also have a melty cat! It was almost 100 I think.

He also hates rain, and he gets anxious zoomies when he hears it on the skylight.
