Do loud noises scare your cat? What about thunder? Cats that are skittish to loud noises are almost always scared of thunder storms too. If your cat is scared of the thunder there are a few things you can to do to help break this fear. First, it’s important to recognize the difference between fear and life threatening anxiety. Fear is when your cat runs to the other room or hides under furniture when thunder happens. It could be life threatening anxiety if your cat is pacing and trembling so much that he starts breathing heavy and sweating. At this point you should call your vet. When it’s not that bad, simply take your cat to a room where the noise isn’t as loud. Distract her with belly rubs, games with her favorite toys, lessons in tricks or even a treat.
