Talking Boxes

My cats like the quiet.  But they put up with all of my "talking boxes."  Think about it.  I have 2 TVs, a couple of radios, a couple of CD players, a smart phone that broadcasts alerts regarding weather and news emergencies, and a weather radio that broadcasts severe weather and other emergency information.

I wonder what my cats think about the talking boxes, especially the weather radio, because it broadcasts so infrequently, and only when there is severe weather in the area, or an Amber alert or Silver alert.  So, how do they know what to think about these noises and how to re-act.

Instinctively, I think, Haiku, knows to hide in the crate in the closet when there is severe weather. What tells her to do that, I do not know.  Taki just hunkers down in the hall way near the linen closet.
