Everyone is afraid of something, including animals. For some animals it may be water, and for others it may oddly be cucumbers. Comforting our pets when these fears arise is important so that we can help them. In a time of distress, an animal may whine, curl up into a ball, or bark or meow often. The behavior depends on the pet, but ultimately, if they are afraid, we must help. “My cat, Stella, is afraid of thunder. My family and I calm her down by rubbing her back and taking her to a room where we all are so that she has people to care for her.” Anacelie Gomez (10) said. The behavior depends on the pet, but ultimately, if they are afraid, we must help. We can comfort our pet(s) by showing them affection, distracting them or giving them treats, or many other things.
