11. She crouches low to the floor, and then slinks into the middle of the house.
|
Since the advice of the National Weather Service is to stay away from windows during thunderstorms (for safety from lightening), I think that is pretty smart. Watching her slink along close to the floor is pretty funny.

18. 3 cats and 3 different reactions.
|
One wants to sit in front of the open french doors (with screens closed) - on a chair - and watch the storm hit the woods off my deck
One hides until he feels brave enough, then joins the storm watcher One wants to snuggle |
