That’s because cats are trained to go potty in a litter box, John. So Elly and you might consider getting a cat after Farley and Edgar. Cats don’t go outside and get dirty but they might bring home a mouse. Or a lizard. Or a bird.
“The expression it’s raining cats and dogs come from?
The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century. City streets were then filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals.”
I heard…Way back when, dogs / cats/ other creatures stayed up in the grass roofs and when it rained really hard they came out by falling to the inside ground of the huts.
We found my daughter’s cat in a dumpster. Took it in. To this day it still wants to be outside. It comes in at night and to eat. Cat’s belong outdoors.
I thought you weren’t supposed to open the door when he scratched.
Come to think of it, why leave the dogs outside on their own like that? My family’s always gone out with them, or at least stood in the doorway keeping an eye on them and calling them back in when we’ve had enough. Though there was one time I let them out, went back inside to get something real fast, forgot they were out there, and three hours later they were chilling on the back porch.

Our dog doesn’t like rain. Or wind. But she LOVES mud!

In my experience dogs, still having part of their wild side, don’t really mind rain at all especially when it is raining cats unto them!
What dogs don’t like is the sudden rumble ( more like blast) of thunder!

Most pet owners have the sense to not put their pets out when it’s raining.

If you love wildlife, keep your cats indoors. Feral and Domestic Cats that are allowed outside kill lots of birds and other small animals.

Good thing Farley barked to let them in, or Edgar would still be out there in the rain scratching away and wondering about the cruelty of man.

We keep a pile of old towels by the door just for that … our dogs were trained to stand there and be dried out…
