cat suddenly afraid of thunder?
What about it?
hi all. i have an 8 year old kitty. for the past 7 years, we have lived in new jersey together — where we frequently got a lot of thunderstorms. especially in spring/summer.
last year, we moved to texas. she has adjusted well and loves our new home. however, this summer - she is suddenly terrified of thunder. she will sink very low to the ground and hide in obscure spots — and this lasts shortly after it’s over as well. we went on vacation last month and left her by herself. (automatic feeder, litterbox, water fountain). could this new fear be from being left alone during something that frightened her? i just want to make sure she feels safe. i’ve never seen her so scared, and it’s really hard to watch.
