Paranormal Abilities of Cats

Our cats have always had an ability to commune with nature. We all believe it is an inborn sense that all animals have, including humans. Just somewhere along the way, most people lost their ability to make sense of the messages from Mother Nature as too much chatter and other noises took over the senses. This happens with domesticated animals as well but most of our cats have had abilities to sense things that were going to happen. It's been up to us to decipher their clues and behavior. We haven't always done that well.

We first noticed the cats could tell when an earthquake was coming. Granted, it took us several minor earthquakes before we figured out their bizarre behavior signified something coming down the pipe. Luckily we never had to experience a big temblor although it might have been a lot easier to interpret their behavior if a big one came along.

Since leaving California, we haven't really lived in an area where much happens, weather wise, earth wise, etc. We haven't really lived in an earthquake area, a volcanic area, or a tsunami area. We did have a couple of small earthquakes in Seoul but there were so minor that we had forgotten to watch the cat's behavior for any kind of warnings. Now I'm on the move again and might wander into areas where something could trigger their innate abilities to be upset at coming phenomenon. Last night we had a rather large thunderstorm. Both cats were upset and needed to be in the same room as me. Sometime after 9 p.m., there was a lightening strike somewhere close and the lights flickered and went out briefly. After that, the cats were fine.

I am a big believer in the abilities of animals to help us and warn us and look after us. Yes, it seems like a far stretch with my two lazy sods. I am going to wander into areas where tornadoes happen, hurricanes show up with increasing frequency, and yes, some spots where earthquakes are possible. I think I'd better get into the habit of paying attention to their behavior more and not thinking it is just because they are hungry. Could save some grief.
