Meowllo everypawdy, hope you had a great weekend. It’s another Miserable Monday here and let me tell you, we sure had a storm last night. Ya know da skies have been gray and sunless furever now, but at least da rains have been quiet da last few days. And then outta nowhere last night da thunder and lightnin’ started up and scared da b-jeebies outta me.
There we was, layin’ in bed all cuddled up da way mommy and me do. Ya’ know mommy can’t sleep without a kitty cuddled up next to her purrin’ her a lullaby. And me and sis Lexi used to purr in unison. Mommy says it was kinda like havin’ a vibratin’ bed. Anyways, me’s getting’ off track here, let’s get back to da storm of da century. So there we was all cuddled up and suddenly, BOOM gRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrUMBLE It was so loud even mommy jumped. Me couldn’t slink or scamper off da bed and under it fast enuff. But me had purrlenty of light to see by, cuz lightnin’ came through da black bedroom curtains and lit up da whole room. Well mommy began to coo at me from atop da bed while me shook in me’s fur under da bed. She wanted me back up on da bed with her. Like dat was gonna happen. As long as da sky was grumblin’, me was gonna stay put……….safely UTB (under the bed). Mommy calls me da Queen of Slink. She says fur a big kitty me can sure flatten out fast enuff.
Now let me tell you somethin’ you may not know about me’s mommy. She’s a clever one. She doesn’t like to take no fur an answer and won’t ifin she can help it. So there me was shakin’ in me’s fur and mommy’s cooin’ and nothing’s happening. So she begins to whine. You know, “Dezi, I Neeeeeeeed you. Baby, I can’t sleep without you. Dezi, it’s okay, I won’t let anything or anybody hurt you, come on back up here on the bed with mommy.” Yeah, just how did she plan on purrtectin’ me while she slept? Was she gonna snore dat storm away? Me wasn’t goin’ anywhere. UTB was just fine with me.
After what seemed like furever me heard mommy softly snifflin’. Hmmmmm Me cocked me’s head and thought a minute. Somethin’ must be wrong. Mommy’s cryin’. So me made da decision to go and check on her. Me bravely crouched low to da ground and slinked out from under da bed and looked up from da floor. Me couldn’t see a thing. So me hurried up da steps and jumped over to mommy’s chest and stuck me’s face in hers. Meow? What’s wrong mommy, me asked. ‘Tween da sniffles mommy went on about how sis Lexi wouldn’t have left her alone just cuz of some storm and how me has to be her big girl now, and how she neeeeeeds me and luuuuuuvs me and would never let me go. Me lissened intently and purred luvvingly. And then when da next thunder boomer hit…………me scurried back UTB. From me’s spot UTB me meowed to mommy, “Remember mommy, me’s da Queen of Slink and…me Ain’t sis Lexi.”
We didn’t get much sleep last night, but fur now da storm has ended and it’s quietly mistin’ so me’s out hangin’ with mommy and makin’ her happy. We’ll be by to see you all just as soon as we can. And mommy wants me to say thank you to everypawdy. She feels better knowin’ she’s not so old fashioned after all. It’s been a long time since she applied fur a job so she didn’t know ifin things had changed or not.
Where do you (your kitties) hide when thunder boomers start?

Oh sweet girl. My kitties would go to the hall in the middle of the house. I called it their safe place. All would go but Sonny could of cared less about anything. He was my happy boy and nothing bothered him. I hope you don’t any more bad storms.
By the way, Oscar’s Catit prize came tody. He is SCARED of it. Go figure. I’ll try him with again in a day or two. His is one strange cat though. It is really nice. I like it and if he can get used to it I think he’ll like it too. Thank you again for having the give away.
Stay safe. Love you so very much precious Dezi and Mommy. Hugs and kisses.

That sounds like it was a loud and scary storm! We don’t get many of those here. In fact I can’t ever remember having a thunderstorm that scared the kitties – and my kitties are scared of everything! Give your mommy an extra purr, Dezi. Hugs!

Human guardians must all be alike. When those jackhammers strted going off this morning, TW got closer to me on the bed and reassured me she would protect me and that she’d even take a bullet for me. I stayed on the bed and didn’t retreat to my office.

Those loud thunder & lightening storms can be scary, especially when the booms are really loud. We lived in Texas for several years so we understand. Even in the Northeast, they can be pretty loud and spectacular. The kitties here don’t get very scared, though, for some reason. Dezi, I’m glad your tree and everything else is ok! Queen of Slink!

Not much seems to bother our Rufus the Red, but Mickey Mouser is a scaredy cat, poor guy. He does a fast disappearing act at any loud noise, doorbell, visitor, vacuum cleaner… sometimes even a noise on the TV! We are hoping Rufus will teach him to be more brave.
We are glad Dezi’s tree is OK.

The only one in our house scared of thunder is Molly. None of the rest of us are bothered by it.
We get really bad storms where we live (near Tampa, FL – lightning capital of the world). We have to get used to it out we’d never come out during the summer. Ear licks
