I am not sure where many of you live, but where I live we tend to get a lot of bad storms that always seem to have the potential to turn into a tornado. So when the conditions seem favorable for one, I usually round up the cats and put them in my room. I do this because we do not have a basement in my house and if it ever comes time to get in the crawlspace, our kitties are coming with us. Well tonight around 8:00PM, the weather quickly got bad so we went into tornado mode; we turned on the weather channel, cleared off the crawlspace, and gathered the cats. It was looking extra weird out, so instead of putting them in the bedroom, like I usually do, I put them straight into the cat carriers. Isis and Pyrrha go into the larger carrier, that is made for a 30-40lb dog, and Pouncer went into the regular cat carrier. This is the first time I have actually had to put them into the carriers and Pyrrha freaked out. She started to crawl on top of Isis and sticking her paws out of the cage. I felt so bad for her so I went and sat beside the cage to try and comfort her. It only made things worse. She then started to breathe heavy, drag me to her with her paws, and smash her whole body against the front of the cage. I decided to cover the cage up because not being able to see anything is supposed to help calm animals nerves. Luckily it worked and she was able to calm down some. The storm passed within 20 minutes so I was able to let her out. She has been a little psycho ever since!
P.S. If you are wondering why this is called "We're in the Red", it is because my Papa Wiggins was obsessed with the weather channel and whenever there is a bad storm and the alerts would come on he would always say "We're in the Red"!
