What Scares Us Most

by Nikki and Nichie

Loud noise, especially thunderstorms, really scares us. We live in Florida and we have horrendous lightening and thunder during rainy season. The lightening, itself, does not scare us - but the loud boom that follows makes our hairs stand straight up. Our tails flair to three times its size and we either run under the covers of our purrents bed or scoot ever so quickly to somewhere dark and safe such as in a closet or under the bed.

We have noticed that our meowmie also is spooked by thunderstorms and is frightened by the lightening and thunder. Guess we picked up this fear from her. Although she gets scared, she tries to act brave and courageous and finds us and attempts to calm us down. We in turn purr at her and cuddle with her and we think we, in our own way, we sooth her fears too.
