Can pets predict weather?

This is a discussion thread · 5 replies
Do you think our pets can predict weather? Have you noticed any changes in your pet's behaviour as the weather changes? I have heard some cats begin to behave anxiously but I have always found it hard to believe in. However I don't insist that can't be true. I'd like to hear your opinions and stories. Emotion: smile

I dont know about the weather but we had an earthquake and my cat was surprised like i was... and they say that cats can predict this kind of things...

The only thing I noticed is that my cat would sleep really much if rain is coming.
I wish he made a better barometer. Emotion: big smile

I think my parents predict weather better than my cat LOL. My mom usually has a headache when it's about to rain, and my dad has a headache when sunny weather is coming. I know this sounds a tad bizarre but that has been proven many times. As to Barsik.... well, he sleeps most of the time when there are major weather changes. Emotion: big smile (Just like yours it seems, kindstar!)

There are studies about it. They say some cats/dogs hide in a safe place, some cry, some become hyperactive, and some bark or meow persistently. Sometimes my cat would meow a lot, that's true, but I've always considered it as a sign of his bad mood. I'm not sure it's weather dependent.

I believe it yes, they are super sensitive in many ways. We are due for some snow here tonight and my two just went bananas zooming around the house for almost 2 hours!
