Cake, if I evacuate the cats and dog go with me. The cats each have a carrier. All of us load up in the truck and take off. The horses are on their own. With ten acres of open pasture I'm hoping they can dodge flying debris.
Funny story about the horses following Hurricane Charlie in 2004. Charlie was the first of the storms that hit that year. I had four horses at the time. Most of them were not close buddies. It was days following the storms before I could get home. The roads were flooded. When I finally got home all of the horses were huddled together in the pasture. They looked like some strange 16 legged critter. They all stayed huddled together when they came up to the barn. I guess the storm spooked them. Because they stay behind we leave breakaway halters on them with my phone number written on the halters in case they get out. That reminds me. I need to talk to the vet about microchipping Kieran.
The cats and BG are all microchipped too, just in case they get lost during evacuation.
Cake, I'll take our hurricanes instead of earthquakes. At least with hurricanes we get days of warning.
You asked how the animals react. During the storm earlier this week the cats either hide under the bed or clung to me. BG acted nervous too. Kieran kept coming up and putting his nose in my stomach which is a sign he wanted reassurance.
