What Do Cats Do On Rainy Days? The Reasons Why Cats Don't Like Rain Revealed!
Recently, many parts of the country have experienced heavy rain, even leading to disasters. Hang in there! And for a while, many cities will continue to have rain, even typhoons! While we pray for those affected by disasters and donate to relief efforts, our moods are truly down. We almost forgot, the ones who may be the least happy on rainy days are cats!
What do your cats do on rainy days? The saying that cats are like sunflowers is true, they generally prefer warm, sunny weather, and even better if they can bask in the sun by the window. What can they do on rainy days? There is a proverb that says, "When a cat washes its face, it will rain." Many people believe that if a cat suddenly starts licking its fur and washing its face, it will rain soon. There is even a legend that if a cat washes its ears, the chance of rain is 99.99%, and if it washes its ears before, it may be cloudy but not raining.
Is it really that magical? In fact, cats washing their faces on rainy days actually means they are a little annoyed!
Cats are very sensitive to subtle changes in the air. When it is about to rain, the humidity increases and the whiskers become heavier. Whiskers are an important sensory organ for cats, and this change makes them uncomfortable. They will constantly wash their faces, lick their fur, and groom their whiskers to maintain normalcy.
As humidity increases, air pressure drops, bodies become heavier, and the smell of the air changes. All these changes make cats feel a little restless, which is why they constantly wash their faces to relieve their mood.
Of course, there are also cats who are too lazy to wash their faces on rainy days.
Because cats will sleep non-stop
After a round of messy cleaning, most cats will do nothing but sleep because their bodies secrete more melatonin, which helps with sleep, when there is less sunlight. So cats are especially sleepy on rainy days. It's right to sleep on rainy days. Moreover, for hunting cats in the wild, rain = nothing to do. They can only conserve energy and replenish themselves. Although this is useless for house cats, this instinct is preserved, and it is reflected in the fact that cats spend more time under the covers on rainy days.
How many of you are starting to get sleepy after reading this?
Are some cats still excited on rainy days?
Some cats walk around the house meowing non-stop before a thunderstorm, seemingly excited? However, this doesn't mean they are happy. It may mean that the cat is anxious or afraid of the approaching or already arrived bad weather. They meow non-stop, run around, and even try to find a place to hide.
Some cats get inexplicably excited on rainy days. But some cats like to watch the rain outside, which may be due to curiosity or because they want to see when the annoying rain will stop. Kittens seem to be particularly curious about the rain. For a very small number of cats in rainy areas, their state doesn't seem to change because of the rain, which is probably because they are used to it.
But most cats are actually pretty unhappy on rainy days. You may not have noticed that it's been raining all the time, but your cat might actually be unhappy. Low air pressure, high humidity, lack of sunlight, and the sound of rain pattering on the ground all contribute to the cat's low mood and some depression. At first, it's just a good day to sleep and rest. But if it continues to rain for several days, or even ten days... although cats are lazy, they don't like to live this way all the time.
Cat's Low Mood on Rainy Days
However, cats are considered to be animals with high tolerance. In the UK, there was a case where the penguins at the zoo became depressed because of the bad weather, with no sun and constant rain, and had to be medicated. In the south, if it rains for several days, cats will not only become depressed, but their skin and fur will become unhealthy due to moisture, increasing the chances of skin diseases.
And in the north, a thunderous storm can even scare cats - thunder and lightning may have a greater impact on cats than rain. If it's hailing, then it's really...
How to Make Cats More Comfortable On Rainy Days?
Listen to the daily weather forecast and close the windows and doors
Listen to the daily weather forecast, if there is thunder and heavy rain, make sure to close the windows and doors in advance, draw the curtains, try to isolate the noise, and don't disturb the cat. Then you can open up spaces like closets for timid cats to hide. If the cat appears restless, you can try to pet it and play with it for a while to distract it from its anxiety.
Don't over-pet the cat on rainy days
Some cats are irritable on rainy days and are more likely to be aggressive because of their anxiety. So don't think that it's nice to stay home and sleep with your cat on rainy days. You should know that your cat may not want to be petted at this time. It's not a good mood, don't bother. So make sure the cat is comfortable and let it do whatever it wants.
Be careful, or you'll be turned to ashes~
Make the house a little drier
A constantly humid environment is not good for cats, but it seems hard to avoid during the rainy season in the south. You can turn on a dehumidifier to make the house drier, or use a dryer to make sure the cat's nest and bedding are at least dry, so it will be more comfortable to sleep on rainy days.
Supplement with some vitamins for the cat
In areas where it rains all the time, you should supplement your cat with some vitamins to prevent the negative effects of insufficient sunlight.
Talk to your cat
If your cat comes to you, play with it. Or talk to the cat that is lying there staring blankly out the window, let it know that you are always here to meet its needs. Bad weather doesn't affect the cat's place in your heart. Hey, kitty, I'm here. After all, whether it's raining, snowing, or sand and hail, cats are always the most important.
