Definitely Not Oz
Last year around this time, I spent my wedding anniversary huddled in the bathroom under a blanket with Clare, my tabby, while a tornado wrecked the neighbourhood and my husband was miles away at work. The wail of the wind and the sound of trees cracking and all manner of things smashing up against buildings is terrifying. I was sure we'd be injured at best, if not outright killed, but we were lucky. Two houses down the roof was missing, and it got worse from there. The fear that my cat and I were going to die while my husband could only watch the storm, helpless, knowing we were alone and in danger, is a feeling I never want to experience again. Clare did die a few days later, but that was from cancer. She was a clever and loving cat, and I like to think she held on long enough to comfort me during the storm.

Cats are extremely clever creatures.
Ours is extremely sociable and aware of emotions, it sounds like Clare was too. Very sorry for your loss.
