Ek weet gewoonlik wanneer dit gaan re\u00ebn en
\ndaarvoor hoef ek nie noodwendig na een van die vele beskikbare weerberigte te
\nkyk nie. Ek het ook nie \u2018n knie of ander gewrig wat voor die tyd begin pyn nie.
\nEk kan bloot by my voordeur uit kyk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanneer daar \u2018n wolk bo die Babylonstoring-berg hang, gaan dit re\u00ebn. Hoe nader dit aan re\u00ebn is, hoe dieper steek sy haar
\nkop in die wolke weg totdat sy uiteindelik in \u2018n wolkmantel gehul is. Anders as
\ndie weerberigte is sy selde verkeerd.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek kan ook bloot na my katte kyk. Wanneer
\nhulle skielik aandagtig agter hulle ore begin was, is daar re\u00ebn aan die kom.
\nDie voorpoot word gelek en dan met stadige hale van agter die oor oor die gesig
\ngetrek. So drie of vier keer, dan hou hulle op. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baie jare gelede het ek vir \u2018n vriendin
\ngenoem dat dit gaan re\u00ebn omdat Shatra, wat \u201cdie slim een\u201d beteken, agter haar
\nore was. Gillian het gelag en ges\u00ea:\u201d Oh Mitzerella, you know we live in a
\ndesert and it only rains every four or five years.\u201d Die volgende dag toe dit in
\ndie woestyn re\u00ebn, bel sy om te s\u00ea dat die kat reg was.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die einste Shatra-kat het ook op \u2018n slag
\nvir \u2018n paar dae agter haar ore gewas. Nee, dit het nie gere\u00ebn nie, maar die
\nhele Midde-Ooste is deur \u2018n hewige sandstorm getref wat dae lank aangehou het, en
\nwaaroor w\u00eareldwyd berig is.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matrose het reeds so vroeg soos die 18de
\neeu hul skeepskatte fyn dopgehou vir veranderinge in weersomstandighede.
\nSommige het blykbaar geglo dat katte towerkragte in hul sterte stoor wat
\nverantwoordelik is vir storms.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baie mense sal dink dat dit sommer \u2018n
\nouvrou-storie is dat katte agter hulle ore was voor dit re\u00ebn, maar daar is
\neintlik \u2018n baie eenvoudige verduideliking daarvoor. Katte se binne-oor is
\ngeweldig gevoelig vir enige verandering in atmosferiese druk en dis hoekom
\nhulle agter hulle ore was, gewoonlik \u2018n dag of wat voor dit gaan re\u00ebn. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anders as in Namibi\u00eb waar ek grootgeword
\nhet, kry ons hier in die Overberg nie dikwels swaar weer nie, maar as daar die
\ndag \u2018n paar harde donderslae is, skrik ek gewoonlik so dat ek amper uit my
\nstoel uit val.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My katte skrik nie vir re\u00ebn nie en kom
\ndikwels sopnat die huis binne, maar my Leeu-kat hou niks van donderweer nie.
\nMet die eerste gedreun het hy gewoonlik  buitentoe gesluip om iewers te skuil. Deesdae
\ngaan sit hy onder die eetkamertafel nog lank voor ek enige gerammel van
\ndonderweer hoor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018n Vriend van my wat in die Ho\u00ebveld woon
\nis n\u00f3g banger as Leeu vir donderweer. Hy en een van sy katte gaan klim in \u2018n
\nkas en sit daar totdat die storm verby is. Ek kry dikwels \u2018n benoude \u201cek is in
\ndie kas\u201d-boodskap. Maar eintlik het hy al baie jare gelede uit die kas geklim.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
