Full Moon?

The past few months, my boy-cat (Mo) has gotten violent the days around the full moon. Strangely, my girl-cat doesn't seem to be affected (except as a victim).

Maybe this is a coincidence or it's the "wrong time of year"...

Does anybody else's cat go crazy when there's a full moon?

No, my female cat doesn't seem to be affected by the moon that I've noticed anyway! You should keep a journal and record the days Mo starts acting "violent" and then write down what phase the moon is in on those days and maybe even what the weather is like. You might see some sort of a pattern after awhile.

I'm going to check this thing out with Babba and lock my bedroom door while im doing it.Although he acts strange most of the time.Maybe thats why he curls up on my chest and puts his head under my chin.

I do know that we seem to have more crime when its a full moon.. so if it makes people more aggressive, mean and stupid... why wouldn't it make animals that way . Hmmm, interesting subject!.

Jan there is something to that.A full moon brings out changes in all living things including plants.Have you ever noticed the way people drive when theres a full moon.

Hmm, this is an interesting subject. The next full moon is on June 3, maybe i'll try to pay a little more attention to their behaviors, yeah like I don't already. We'll see if I can remember, it's a couple of weeks away and I will just be getting home from upnorth.
