Post Nine: Storms

 

Kitty Village and the Storms,

 

Well, it is rainy season in south Florida again. For us Floridians, our rainy season is like the snow storms in the north. The only good thing is that it usually does not rain all day long. It might rain for thirty minutes and then the sun comes out for a while and then rains again. 

But when it does rain, we are talking about a lot of rain. We can get easily two to four inches of rain in a day and more.

That is why in south Florida we have an interconnecting network of canals for drainage that were constructed in the early 1900’s. Without these canals we would be under water.

Now what does this have to do with Kitty Village?

More rain

Good Question.

Because when it rains, it comes down so hard  making so much noise that it in-turn frightens the residents of Kitty Village. Combine the heavy rain, heavy wind, and thunder they all seek any shelter that makes them feel safe.

 

Hiding from rain.

 

Some times that shelter is under my chair if I am sitting on the porch with them during the storm.

Even Smokey, who is still living inside the house in her enclosure, will hide under her bed when it rains.

That is, even with the pheromone technology we use in her room which is called Comfort Zone.

 

Comfort Zone products release odorless, drug-free Pheromones which are scents that cats use to communicate with one another. Comfort Zone Diffusers release pheromones that mimic a cat’s natural, calming pheromones, signaling to them that an area is safe and friendly, putting them at ease.

The Kitty Village construction project is still moving along even with the rain, heat and high humidity.
