He's always blamed me for the weather. If it's raining outside he'll go from door to door yelling at me when it is still raining at the next door. Then he will usually go back to the first door, go out and yell at me while he is getting wet. This, despite him having his own cat door.

As today, if he is outside and it starts raining, he will come inside and yell at me. Or if he is on a side of the house away from his door he will stand on the front porch or in the carport and yell. Since he is part Siamese, he has a very loud yell.

He's not afraid of the storms so much as he doesn't want to get wet.
