It's raining cats and dogs outside at the moment. Finally, I can assure myself that the monsoon has arrived. It certainly took its time getting here..
I love the moments just before it starts to rain. You can always tell.. The wind picks up speed.. distinct chill in the air.. no sun to speak of..
I just love thunderstorms! My favorite part has got to be the sound of the wind howling like some rabid beast, rattling the windows, trying to get in.. I love to burrow under my blankets and just lie there, listening.. I'm not a big fan of thunder.. mostly because it can jolt me awake.. but usually I can sleep through the best of them.
In such weather, most people tend not to venture out. My cat Felix, however, doesn't let himself be fazed by a bit of rain. He still demands to be let outside. And somehow, when he returns, he's never wet.. if at all he is, its only a few drops here and there or maybe the end of his tail. It's highly suspicious.. Like today, he went out when it was absolutely pouring! And when he returned some 3 hrs later, he was completely dry. How does he do it?? If I were to go out I'd be wet in 30 seconds flat. Even if I simply stood under my building, the spray would get me.. And so, I am forced to conclude that Felix has some weird rain-repelling-energy-force-thing going on and he uses this to mess with my mind!
I could extol the virtues of storms for a loooong time.. but the rain's dying down now, and my blankets beckon.. or something like that :)

See?! Told you I'd make it rain ^_^.
I am sure felix has a nice cozy raincoat that you don't know about. Only that lil tail sticks out from it, I assume.
Poor guy, feel a lil bad for him. His favourite cat is in bglr, her sister is hiding herself in a blanket and his favourite cat's sister's favourite cat (read: lucky) is probably too busy gettin scared of thunder and hiding in some small corner of the house.
Poor felix...
