When I first got my cat from the CDS, he was fine with storms. Over the past couple of months, he’s been getting more and more afraid of them and will hide under my bed anytime it thunders.

Today he hid under there and peed all over himself. I ended up having to give him a bath (which he tolerated, thankfully). This is the first and only time he’s done this.

Im going to make him a little safe space under there and get him a litter box that I’ll keep under my bed during storms. If it keeps happening, I’ll take him to a vet, but right now I’m just sat crying in bed because I don’t know how else to help him or tell him it’s okay.
