he loves his haircut

On our way home from the groomers it started lightning and thundering so it was pretty much the worst day of his entire life.

Initially he went to this corner of the kitchen to "hide" like this.  After a few minutes he got in to a much better hiding position.

When I showed that picture to somebody they were like, "omg I hope you put the camera down after you took that and helped him".  Helped him do what?!  There's nothing I can do to help him, he has plenty of places to hide if he actually wants to hide.  I can't do anything about him choosing to cram himself in to the tiny space under the cabinet doors.

Poor kitty.

In the days following he is back to his normal obnoxious self, only now, softer and fluffier.  Perfect for cuddling, which you know he loves!

As we've discussed before he hates thunderstorms.  This morning there was a particularly loud crack of thunder that sent him slinking in to the bathroom to hide in the shower.  Unfortunately the only thing that was keeping me in bed was cuddling with him so once he left I had nothing to do besides shower and get ready for work.

I stalled as long as I could but finally had to turn on the water, which he hates more than thunder.

That is where he ended up.  Randomly in the entrance to the bathroom, inches away from the wall.  He was still acting like he was terrified, I'm not sure if he thought he was hidden because all he could see was door jam or what.

Apparently the forecast calls for rain the next two days that I have off of work, so I will be looking forward to being cooped up in doors with that weird cat.
