Observing Cubbe - thunderstorm
In the moments before the storm really hits, that time when the air is
windy, the pressure has dropped, and the thunder can be heard in the distance, Cubbe becomes clingy. Not normally affectionate, she suddenly starts acting like a dog. She follows us from room to room. She lies down next to the bed where we are. When there's no storm, she looks only to her own comfort and prefers the bottom of the basement stairs or under the futon or on the living room couch; Never mind where the people are. With a storm brewing, she's close at hand. Then the storm rolls in. It rains. It booms. Cubbe is ecstatic. She can't look out every window at once so she runs around to each in turn looking out, panting her excited pant (or is it stress?), paying us no attention and just checking things out. Afterwards, the smell of skunk is thick. The scent must travel better because even I can smell it. Cubbe isn't sure she's ever met a skunk, but she doesn't think she likes them anyway. She becomes the huntress. She asks to go out so she can check out the territory and hunt skunks. We think this is a Bad Idea. She begs to differ. --Lia |
