Weathercat Warning

This is my cat, Minerva, who is six years old now. She was a pound kitty, acquired when she was just a kitten a few weeks old.

Besides being an escape artist that would make Mister Miracle drool with envy (hence her reputation as the World's Sneakiest Cat), she has an uncanny knack for knowing when bad weather, such as an especially heavy rain or a thunderstorm, is approaching. Depending on the expected severity of the possible bad weather, she might hide in the bathroom behind the toilet, or creep under the bed.

Today, she suddenly started running around our home, her tail poofed out, yowling. I turned on the TV, and sure enough, there was a tornado watch for our area. I was really glad when a short time later, coinciding almost exactly with the arrival of a break in the weather, she calmed down and went to sleep.

Beats the heck out of the National Weather Service and all we have to do is feed her. So always pay attention to your local "Weathercat Warning". You'll be glad you did!
