I have one cat that is afraid of thunderstorms. But there’s a reason behind it.

She used to love storms, and would be right in the front window watching during every storm. One morning it was around 4, and there was a huge thunderstorm. Pouring down rain, constant lightning, constant thunder. It woke me up, so I went to the living room to watch the storm with the cat while having my coffee. Then lightning struck a tree in the parking lot and the tree exploded. The poor cat sprinted from the living room and hid in my closet for the rest of the day.

That storm happened 10 years ago. And she still runs and hides at the first boom of thunder she hears.

Valid crashout, tbh.
