An Associated Press-Petside.com (PDF) poll shows that 72 percent of dog owners report weather warnings from their pets, compared with 66 percent of cat owners.
Forty-seven percent of dog owners and 41 percent of cat owners say they have gotten bad news alerts from their pets.
The poll conducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications in October shows pets convey these warnings in many ways.
Sixty-four percent of those polled say pets hide, 56 percent say they whine or cry, 52 percent say they become hyperactive, erratic or make unpredictable movements, and 36 percent say they bark or meow persistently.
