[NRaleighLiberal]

[HopeHoops]

4. We have three cats and two kittens. They all ignore it.

[TheMadMonk]

5. Other: Sits in window and watches it. /nt

[woo me with science]

8. Ours, too. nt

[OriginalGeek]

6. other

laughs at the scaredy-cat dog.

You can see it in her eyes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. They might flick an ear if the thunder is really loud.

9. 23 pound tabby hides in a corner behind the toilet...

.....at fireworks. Don't know about thunderstorms -- we rarely have one.

10. Curls up into a ball, rises into the air and vanishes in an eyeblink.

i.e. I don't have a cat.

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.

[Sentath]

22. That is the one

That is what both at home do

[Fridays Child]

12. Recites Shakespearean soliloquies from memory.

But only if there's quite a bit of lightning nearby. And not the box kitty, Boo. Only the sink kitty BBC.

[sakabatou]

13. I don't know

We haven't had one or I don't remember.

[Hoyt]

14. Had a hider once, would hide for hours afterward. Current buddy is oblivious to storms.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I don't know. All 4 of mine live outside since they were all strays/feral when

they showed up. I think they go into the cellar.

[krispos42]

16. Looks at me with contempt.

Which is what she always does!

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. The pee in the wrong place, hack up hairball can happen at any time. sigh...

[Lucinda]

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

[LynneSin]

19. Same thing they do the other 22 hours of the day - sleep

loser cats!

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

20. Other: Same as always... Just sits there being considerably less awesome than a dog.

21. If she's already in my lap, she stays there

If not, she goes and takes cover in the closet.
