Several people in my area have noted that their pets are acting weird. The behavior usually amounts to staring out windows and doors whining and shivering and hiding under tables and other furniture etc. .
Or if they are outside they badly want inside even though they never do much any other time.
They also keep tails tucked and sort of slink around like they are in distress.
This is not one or two people but my count has over 20 different households within a ten mile radius that have pets acting in the same way for about 3 days now.
My dog can not seem to settle down and wants to be as close as he can get to me and the Missus. Some thought it is the festival in town but it just set up Yesterday and the behavior has been going on longer than that. And we had no such behavior last year reported.
We are all at a loss and the local vet has no idea but he tells us dogs and cats can sense stuff humans can't.
Catching the scent of coyotes or mountain lion would be my guess.

Normal dogs here in Southern Michigan.
Do you live near a windmill farm? From what I understand, animals can pick up the audio or static discharge created by the spinning blades.
My cat started acting weird after I volunteered her for the ALS challenge.
Any tremors in your area?
LOL!
Earthquake coming.
My birds do that out here in WA. Sometimes only a very small temblor on the way.
Animals can sense earthquakes. So maybe your area is about to have a massive one.
thought you might be a good resource.
Years ago, I heard something like this on Art Bell when I couldn’t sleep
I forgot what actual event indicated, but it was a foreshadow to an earthquake or some other act of nature.
Hope that helps.
Funny you mention that.. I’m down in Maryland and for the past month my 6 y.o. dog out of nowhere won’t go outside unless the wife or are outside or if I do get him out on his own he won’t leave the deck and he’s constantly following us around the house to be in the same room. He’s good size, 70lbs and never acted that way before.
Could be mothman.
We live in an apartment in the middle of town so I doubt it is the problem for us.
It could be that a LIB/DIM is nearby.
My dogs are just fine here in South Alabama.
You might take him to the vet for some sedation. It might calm him down for a while, or until whatever is bothering him passes.
Are you in the shake zone for the New Madrid fault?
No large windmills within 50 miles of us.
