โ๏ธ OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A STORM WE HAD LAST NIGHT! โ๏ธ
I spent the evening doing rounds again from around 9 pm until 10 pm, checking on everyone and giving cuddles and reassurance wherever they were needed.
My little Grumpypants, Peanut, and I are finally friends! It took one hectic storm for her to allow me to pick her up, cuddle her and reassure her that she was safe. Never in a million years did I think that would happen! ๐ฒ
I had to lock the windows to stop Jazzy from going outside because, honestly, why would anyone choose to hang outside during that storm?
Sonic was hiding under the rug, while poor Baby was completely soaked and needed to be towelled dry. That was interesting because she is feral, but thankfully she has no teeth, so it didnโt go too badly. ๐
I made little tents and hiding places for some of the others, giving them somewhere to retreat and at least a sense of protection from the thunder and rain. If I could have brought every cat into the main house with me, I would have, but unfortunately, that simply isnโt possible.
Instead, the lights were dimmed in the cattery and The Villa & Retreat, everything was closed and secured, and I did everything I could to help them feel safe enough to get through the night.
My own cats hate storms too. Some of my sprayers have been trained not to come into the main house, but clearly the storm changed the rules because I had spots of spray to clean up this morning!๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Most importantly, all our Catopia guests are safe and have forgotten about the storm this morning. Everyone is in good spirits this morning, and I am very relieved to say that we all made it through the night without any problems. ๐
Apparently, there is more rain forecast for today.
I really dislike heavy rain! ๐ง๏ธ๐พ
Well its cool today thatโs a blessing for all
Keep safe everyone, and keep you babies safe, dry and calm this week - a few storms and rainy weather ahead.
