I am sure most of you that have pets know that their hearing is so much better than ours that loud sounds bother them. Well, last night thank heavens we were both up and in the same room and we heard lightning and it was very loud. At the same time someone's alarm went off too and both were going on. My cat looked at the window and I was trying to tell her how she was doing because it was so loud and it must have bothered her. I tried to reassure her that it would pass and it did but she kept staring at the window. I did not hear if the rain followed and will not be outside today so do not know how the weather really is. I look out the window and it could rain. I have not opened the window yet to see if it is cool or not. Now, would be the time for it to start raining because I started to pray for it.

Animals have better hearing than we do so she hears more. I have good hearing and can you imagine that she has been than that and it really bothered Sophie. No damage because after the lightning stopped did not hear anything else and the alarm was taken care of so it was back to normal again.

It is very hard on animals.
Their hearing is so much better than ours and loud noises like that can bother them. Does anything else bother your dog besides lightning? My cat when the elevator door opens if she is by it she will come racing in the apartment.

They have better hearing than we do and it is harder on them. Here an alarm went off too during the lightning and but I think the lightning was the problem. I hope the lightning where you were did not last long and they were ok after it was over.

Sometimes I disturb my cat when she is having one of her naps and I do not like to bother her but it seems like she can go back to sleep again. I on the other hand have a hard time falling asleep as it is and to be disturbed by being woken up it is hard for me to fall asleep again. Yes, my cat is very sensitive to things. I wonder what her life was like with the family that found her and if she was not happy with them. She does not like too many people so she goes and hides when it gets to be too much or if it is someone she does n not know very well she may hide until she gets to know them better.

That is not weird. Everyone has their likes and dislikes about things. I was not sleeping. As a matter of fact I was watching TV and my cat was either sleeping on the chair or laying on it and when the lightning started she did not like it and then an alarm went off at the same time. Now, I am wondering about the alarm if the weather triggered it or something happened that it went off. It finally stopped and I have no clue as to why it went off. It is nice to see your whole face in the picture you put there.

That sounds very very scary. Yes praying is the thing to do.

This is the time of year that we say something about rain and for Sophie the lightning was very scary.
