Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Incoming storms
Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the Easter weekend and they're starting to hit us now, It's really windy outside and dumping rain. Dunzi loves this. She is on her perch by the bedroom window looking out at it and when it stopped for a bit she came into the living room and yowled her complaint at this fact at us And Sarsi, our big punk kitten? At the first howl of wind she went under the sofa and even through the wind has dropped and she has come out- she's sitting very close to Daa-dee and watching his every move Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Purring and Praying for you all on the other side of the pond > Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone > in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Lesley <LMadigan@hhnt.nhs.uk> wrote in news:6d9369ac-da6f-4f8e-abbc- 2aab36e6fae7@s13g2000prd.googlegroups.com: > Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone > in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs It's been cold (for the date) and very windy the last few days.

Luckily my windows are jalousie widows with screens in front of them and at ground level so I can open them a bit to let the air in but no way a cat can leave. The funny part of your story is what Dunzi did when she got back in cause that is just what I would do in her situation (ahem). Andy .

And the time she got into the hallway for over 7 hours http://www.flippyscatpage.com/dunzisbigadventure.html I think she only wanted to come in because she needed her litter box! She'd make a great adventurer but only if someone can come up with a portable litter tray!

They make us worry SO much, then when they finally come back, they're like...'what?' and do the 'look in the air whistling innocence' thingy on ya, like they have done no wrong.

Some heavy wintery showers this afternoon. A decent amount of snow predicted for tomorrow. Boyfie is using the litter boxes which is unusual for him. Poor lad tries to go out - he prefers the big outside toilet - but soon comes back inside, but he will try again in a while just to see if there is a door into summer. I am up and down like a fiddlers elbow letting him in and out. Meow,I want to go out - meow, I want to come in. Kitty FC, as always since she got very old, is oblivious. She is tucked up by the fire, she never notices bad weather, but if she spots some sunshine she will sometimes go into the conservatory to catch a few rays. The best rays are to had up high and to get them she jumps on to the vegetable rack, then on to the freezer and then scales up wire netting to get to the top of a wall unit where the best sunshine is. She did this last week. I could not find her and I was frantic. There she was after an hour of looking for her. Sometimes I think I underestimate her because she is frail and the vet says she has a touch of kitty dementia. It does not help because she cannot meow when I call for her, all she can do is open her mouth and a tiny "wah" sound comes out - she's always been like this. I'm with Sarsi. Get your head down until the weather improves. Brits are wimps about extreme weather because we don't get it often. We hate snow. The whole country grinds to halt if we get 4 inches overnight. When my German friend N was visiting me one January, it snowed and she said "why is snow on the BBC TV news?" We Brits know why...( she said darkly) ;-) Tweed On Mar 21, 1:23 pm, "Christina Websell" <spamf...@tinawebsell.wanadoo.co.uk> wrote: > Kitty FC, as always since she got very old, is oblivious.

Dunzi and Sarsi both love the tops of our new kitchen cupboards for the same reasons. Guess it makes up for the new windows, which don't have the nice bit in the middle for them to lie on and catch the Sun and the fact that Dave, the cruel b***ard replaced their nice warm sleeping place with a flat monitor! > I'm with Sarsi. Get your head down until the weather improves. I'm with Sarsi I just had to pop to the shop over the road and the heavy signs are all down and I got hit by a carrier bag with some fairly heavy rubbish in it which was flying about. Now I am in and nothing short of a fire is getting me out again Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Brits are wimps about extreme weather because we don't get it often. We > hate snow.

Normally, snow wouldn't be news in Finland, but this has been such a strange winter. The fact that it was going to be below 0 C during easter was big news here. We had some snow, but it melted already, and now it's just cold. Funny how quickly you get used to warmer weather. Two years ago -5 C at this time of year wouldn't have fazed anyone. Now I really feel the cold. :P Miranda still doesn't mind the cold, while Caliban, with his longer fur, is still the wimp.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. my parents live on the town in MO that is on the news where the flooding was, Piedmont MO, Lee > Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone > in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone > in the States gets Actually, you do. North London is one of the most hazardous places in the UK for weather damage to buildings. Like last year's tornado. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts >> Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather >> everyone in the States gets [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: > Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts Yeah, remember not all places in the states get _all_ extreme weathers.

Well, I live near/in/around Seattle for 31 plus years and have been in an 6.8 earthquake, in 2001 (IIRC), a multlateral cyclone, high winds, snow, rain, hail, sleet, fog, a volcanic eruption in 1980 when Mt Saint Helens blew, I guess falling ash could be considered weather, extreme triple diget heat for the last 2 years in a row, droughts, yes Seattle had a water shortage alert for 1 or 3 years , and we've gotten a few tornado's too. And forest fires. No hurricanes iz about all we haven't gotten. Purrs for you over the Pond to keep safe and warm and keep yer kitties in, or make them wear their little boots when they go out...erm I was gonna say 'rubbers' but that has a whole new meaning in the 'Colonies' <G> Kyla Kyla > Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone > in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs We've had wind, rain and snow all day. When I went out to feed Shadow at lunch time I had touble holding the door the wind was so strong. I'm happy to say he was dry and comfortable in his summer house. It's hard to believe today is the first day of Spring. ;-) SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk
