Storm is coming
There is a storm arriving tonight, and as it comes closer, the cats get more and more anxious. There were a few territorial disputes developing between the four alpha cats and I heard more growling tonight than I have in a long time.
Now that the storm is here, the cats are outside in the enclosure, all of them. Huddled on the new CattyCorner Condo from www.felinefurniture.com they are looking out into the darkness and the pounding rain. Not one cat or kitten is in the house! With 150 foot evergreens around the place, I am a bit nervous that they might know something I don’t.
They seem spooked by their own shadows and when they move, they do so with caution, almost as if they are walking on shredded glass or something. It’s almost as eerie as the storm outside to see this type of behavior from them.
I will be eternally grateful to my friend Eddie who sent me an email right before Mike and I were getting ready to leave. The email alerted me to the storm. We had no idea and we would have driven right into it had we left, plus, we wouldn’t be here to protect the cats, and the horses should something happen. I am sad to not see my parents as planned, but sometimes things just don’t go as planned do they?
I have the window open and the drapes are blowing out into the room, adding to the drama of the storm outside. I do love it when it gets like this, and being so close to the mountains, we get some pretty wild storms.
I have plenty of supplies both for us and the animals. Fresh hay in the barn- 4 tons of it, plenty of water, lots of pet food, and we have food that doesn’t need to be heated should we lose power.
