Waking up to a hazy sky and smoke in the air puts a cat in a rotten mood.

Any self-respecting cat will of course, demand that the humans immediately get busy clearing the air, and bringing out the sunshine. But of course, Humans can’t do that – (and most of them would just ignore it, anyway), so what is a cat supposed to do to escape what would otherwise be a long, boring day trapped inside?

1.) POUT. Make your displeasure evident. The humans will know they can’t fix it for you, so they should feel sufficiently guilty enough to fall all over themselves trying to make it up to you- something like this would work well….

2.) If they don’t do whatever is necessary to fix the problem for you, continue pouting- no matter what they do to distract you.

3.) Of course, if your humans are of the stubborn variety, you may have to show them who’s boss and then give them a stern warning….

If that doesn’t work, then set about making your own indoor fun… and soon they’ll be happy to let you out!
