In 2 days, the Moon will be full once again.  Does a Full Moon effect your
cats?
Mine just sit in the windows and stare it, sometimes 'talking' to it, but
they don't go any more beserker than usual.
How do your furbabies react?

If the weather is decent, most of them spend most of the night time
outdoors - during new moon, they tend to stay in.

Intreresting question.  Aggie stays under the bed full moon or no moon.
Victor sleeps through everything.

I'd never really thought about it.  I'll have to watch the owners and see
what they do.  Except for Wamsee.  All she ever seems to do is sleep.

My furbabies seem to have no reaction to the cycles of the moon.

Barebabies, though.... The Yowlet seems to get extra boisterous around the
time of the full moon, and I really *really* wish I hadn't taught him to
howl at the damn thing. It was funny the first time....

come back to haunt us years later. Be warned!! (Smirk)

So true and my son delights in this fact.  The warning "Be Warned" is
excellent advice!!!

when I was about 13 my mom in a fit of frustration said to me "I hope you
have a child just like you someday... as I got older this scared me, bad...

wasn't stupid, Lee

ROFL!
The full moon must be a powerful thing. I've heard school teachers say
the kids
are, like you say, extra boisterous. Emergency room workers say the ER
is busier too. .

=======================

I think students are more "active" around full moon time, and I've seen that
ER thing in action.  However, studies don't bear out anecdotal evidence.  I
know that the last time I was in an ER was at the full moon and it wasn't
busier, but the accidents were stranger than usual.

Full moon is the prime hunting time. When our cats used to stay out
more, I'd have a devil of a time getting them back in during a full
moon.
What they didn't understand was, that works all the way up the food
chain. It was prime hunting for coyotes, too. :-(
They stare out the windows, too.

We do our best to get the cats in at night.  But I swear it isn't easy on a
really nice night with a full moon.  A hunting night.  I'll go out to look
for them, and am soon thinking if I were a cat, I'd sure want to spend that
night in the out.
