Grumble, Rumble, Mumble

Published on by Service Cats U.S.

Meowllo everypawdy, can you believe this year is half over? Time just flies by these days. We’ve been havin’ storms all week long so you all know where me has spent most of me’s time. But wait, yesfurday da skies were alit and rumblin’ really, really loud. No crashes or booms, just a loud rollin’ rumble. Sounded a lot like a Harley Davidson motorcycle or a blown muffler. So me didn’t ‘zactly know what to do. Should me hide? Should me go ‘bout da day like it’s nothin’? Finally me decided to consult mommy.

Dezi close up on arm of chair
Hey, Mommy?

Mommy, is dat there noise thunder, me asked?

Honey, it ain’t nothin’ you need to worry your pretty little head with. I won’t let anything hurt you. 

Yes, me knows mommy, but is dat thunder? Me needs to know whether me needs to hide or not.

Well Dezi you know I want you to stay out here in the open with me. Thunder or no thunder. I won’t let anything get you.

Thunder or no thunder huh? So does dat mean it’s thunder? 

Yes Dezi it’s thunder. But it’s been rumblin’ now for hours and you’ve slept right through it. So just because you’re awake now doesn’t mean you need to hide. It didn’t get you while you napped, and it’s not gonna get you now. 

Dezi rests her head on the scratcher for a nap

Hmmmmm You may be right mommy, but everypawdy knows me hides when it storms.

Well sweet Dezi, you know what? 

What mommy?

You don’t have to be known as a hider. You could change what everybody knows and be the kitty girl that isn’t afraid of the storms.

BOOM!!!! 

What was dat???

 Dezi leans on scratcher and looks at camera

Nothin’ darlin’.

(Dezi scurries and slinks her way behind the chair)

Yeah mommy, me will give dat bravery stuffs more thought. In da meantime, ifin ya’ need me, me will be behind da chair. And as long as da skies are grumblin’, don’t call me. Me will let ya’ know when me’s available, okay?. Me knows you’re purroud of me fur hangin’ out as long as me did. Maybe da rumblin’ ain’t so bad, but when da sky starts talkin’… it’s time fur this girly to get outta Dodge, wherever dat is. You can just read me everypawdy’s postys and me will yell me’s respawnses, okay mommy?

But what about the pictures Dezi? You won’t be able to see any of your friends pictures if you’re hidin’ out behind the chair?.

Well mommy, me doesn’t think they changed much over night. Me will see them when da storms stop. Now, we need to get to visitin’ mommy, cuz da lights keep flickerin’. We may lose power today. Me hopes da sun is shinin’ on you all.

We posted da video below awhile back, but me has lots of new furiends dat may not have seen it. Ifin ya’ ever wondered what me sounds like then listen up. Mommy calls it a meweek. A cross between a meow and a squeek.  MOL

Ifin ya’ can’t see da video, click here to watch it on YouTube.

Till da next time……………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Dezi = Blue 

Mommy = Black

Luv and Hugs and Kitty Kisses

  1. Don’t be frightened Dezi, Your Mom won’t let the thunder or lightning get you! We have had a week of storms in the afternoons, but that is pretty typical for Florida in the summer time. It just came a little early this. Year. Raven still hides under the bed when it storms but the rest of us kitties have gotten used to it (sort of) we just get on mom and dad and let the thunder roll!
    Dad says that distant rumbling thunder sounds like the B-52 carpet bombing he remembers from Vietnam! Sending you lots of hugs sweet Dezi, Pete and the Girls (dad Mike too)

  2. Oh, Dezi, I’m sorry it’s storming and thundering for you. We had a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, but then yesterday we got some of those storms. And you know what? None of my furbabies could care any less about the thunder and lightning and pouring rain. They all just go about their normal business, running and playing and begging for food. In fact, they want me to let you know that there’s nothing to be afraid of out there, Dezi! Your mom and that roof over your head will keep you safe and sound. Nevertheless, I sure hope you get some sunshine soon! Purrs!

  8. WOW, what versatile kitty!! Dezi, I have never seen a kitty turn its head around as you do. I think you must have an owl in your family! And I LOVE your mushroom play thing to climb on. I don’t have anything but a ROCK.
    And you have a partner in thunder-scuttles. I’m outta here and under the bed the minute those mama turtles start banging on their dishpans, which is what my mama’s mama said made thunder. To call the little turtles home out of the rain….
