If your cat rubs its ears with its paws, don't forget your umbrella: how pets can predict the weather
For many years, cats have been considered first-class meteorologists - even science does not refute the superpowers of animals.
We will tell you what behavior of Murkas and Barsiks indicates that it is time to grab an umbrella, or that warming is approaching.
So, if your pet sleeps in a small arc (approximately 270 degrees), this means that the air temperature will increase slightly.
A cat's pose, in which it bends in an arc resembling a semicircle, will help you know that warming will come suddenly.
If real heat is approaching, the pet will lie down on its back with its paws stretched out.
The explanation for this is simple - a cat is able to sense fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and humidity, which is why it resorts to such thermoregulation mechanisms. The animal's body heat output increases, which protects it from overheating.
The same ability of a cat manifests itself when rain approaches.
Due to the drop in atmospheric pressure, unpleasant sensations arise in the ears and stomach of the pet. To drown them out, the cat often begins to drink water, eat grass, lick its tail and rub its ears with its paws.
