A Dark and Stormy Night

Ashton: Hey Newton! It’s getting dark out… time to party! Want to play?

Newton: I don’t know. I have some cat business to take care of.

Ashton: You mean you heard some thunder earlier.

Newton: Shhh, don’t let my fan club hear you say that. I don’t want to lose their respect.

Ashton: You have an awfully high opinion of their respect for you in the first place. You’re such a chicken.

Newton: You have chicken? Well, why didn’t you say so in the first place?

Newton_Peering_from_spare_room_sm

Newton: I don’t see any chicken out here. Don’t tell me you ate it already.

Ashton: If I had chicken, I would have eaten it. Instead, I just have you. Come on, last one to the red dot has to wait in line at the litterbox!

    Really, Newton? Strangers or Big Birds don’t scare you but thunder does? *giggles*
    You and Ashton are such opposites!

    Newton, we’re not big fans of the thunder-boomers either. But remember, they don’t last long. Maybe some chicken will help you forget about them.

    Tell your parents to spray some Feliway in the room next time there is a storm to help relax you.

    Newton, nothing wrong with being afraid of the thunder. It is very scary and very dangerous. We don’t like those loud storms either. It could hit our house and that would really be scary. You all have a great day.

    It’s OK to be scared of storms and thunder. A good hiding place and a comforting buddy (or human) can help you ! Purrs

    Our mom says for such scary cats that we are, thunder doesn’t bother us. Once in a while when its really, really loud, we might look around. Astonishing!

    Oh no, Newton, you’re against the wall. I think that means you may be just a tiny bit scared of the thunderstorms. Hopefully, you’ll get some of that chicken!

    Are you really afraid of thunder, or do you just not like it lot. There is nothing wrong with that! We sure do love your photos.

    You two make mom smile 🙂 We have tons of thunder here so we are only startled when it is really loud which makes mom really happy.

    Did Newton go back into hiding when he realized the chicken was gone, Ashton? Cute post!
