Where’s Timmy, Lassie
I have a new cat, or should I say, I have an Old Cat that lived outside for years before deciding she would just move in with me. Cat doesn’t have a name. She goes by Girl. It is all she will answer too.
Hi, Girl… How Are ya, Girl…
Last summer, Dylan and I were painting the Fence ( a much bigger job than it sound as it includes scraping, preping and repairing) well Girl would come over and Watch Dylan and me work.
…. Skipping ahead a little. Frisky passed away last fall.
One day I opened the door to go outside and Girl bolted between my legs and through the door. As she was completely feral, this concerned me a great deal. I was concerned she may Poop, pea and shed all over the place. A feral cat can be quite destructive. I could not get her out of the house. So I opened the basement door and setup a litter box and setup food and water downstairs. Then I opened the Garage door so she could freely come and go….
Anyway.. Last night, Girl nudged me awake. She kept nudging me till I woke up. THen she jumped down from the bed and Meow’ed at me (she really is quite bossy). What do you want Girl, I asked and she Meow’ed at me (she vocalizes back to me when I talk to her). So I get up. And she goes to the Basement door and Meow’s at me… First I think that maybe I left the Garage door up as I mowed Sunday and there is an Animal in the Basement. So I ask Girl “Is there Someone down there”.. And She Meows at me. When I open the door
she walks down 2 steps and stops, turns back to me, and Meows… “Do you want me to go in the Basement, Girl” She Meows. So just as I was to follow her in the Basement a Bright Lightning Flash Flashed (sorry.). ANd a loud boom immediately occurred. I immediately thought My Cat is rescueing me from a Tornado. I’ve heard of shit like that.
So I went down into the basement with Girl and set and waited…. 5am…. She has never behaved like this before… After a few minutes, I go back upstairs and turn the TV on to see what was going on.
Basically We were having a BIG Thunderstorm but no Tornado.
At about 6am, I start seeing the news from Joplin, Mo. How Horrible.
Anyway, I am glad I wasn’t hit by a Tornado. I really feel for all in Joplin and the people that were devasted by the tornadoes in April…
But I really hope the next time my Cat tries to rescue me, she has better information.
Great cat story. At the moment I have three cats living in tandem on my porches here….none are mine, and only one will even deign to come inside. But it saves me a whole bunch of money on birdseed because the squirrels don’t like them.
Cute story, the cat’s I’ve had have only lead me to the can opener. Joplin is about 160 miles south of where I live, the whole thing is heartbreaking. Our local news said that those type of damaging tornado’s on average happen 500 times a season, so far this year there’s been 1,000. Tomorrow looks like another bad day for tornado’s in our area 😥
We have severe thunderstorm warnings, but no tornado warnings. They keep just missing us.

if your cat loves you enough to want to save you..it’s quite something .
Mine was more of a follower than leader,once I took this 45minute walk up to the post office at my grandma’s and while I was waiting there in line -I see my cat through the window- sniffing the air! So if mine followed me over the hills and far away ( pretending to be a dog )to miew me as recognition only when I was right before him- I suppose they ‘sense’ threats from miles away.So perhaps yours was informed..just needed a GPS
