Yes, it does zap me and Grey hates it when I’m petting her and she touches my hand with her nose and it zaps her. LOL! Then she goes all shy for a while.
A hurricane guy I follow said that there are no real strong dips in the west to east weather patterns so that’s why we down here haven’t gotten any really frigid nasty stuff. I know it’s cold where you are, but it could be WAY worse. LOL! I’m sure that’s scant consolation when you have to keep your socks and shoes on, though. :)
LOL! Our cats all hate it when I get “electrified”. They all duck and run a lot this time of year.
I hate it because I get zapped every time I touch anything metal .... door handles, metal shelves at the grocery store, you name it.
We’ve been lucky this year regarding frigid weather .... so far. Farmer’s Almanac has been correct up to this point and that suits us just fine.
But yeah, it’s still cold enough that socks and shoes are required and the tootsies are SO ready for spring and summer!
