When a cat scratches against fence does that mean rain?

There's no scientific basis for the idea that a cat scratching against a fence means rain is coming.

Here's why:

* Cats have their own reasons: Cats scratch for a variety of reasons, including:

* Marking territory: Cats have scent glands in their paws, and scratching leaves their scent behind.

* Stretching and exercising: Scratching helps cats stretch their muscles and keep their claws sharp.

* Stress relief: Scratching can be a way for cats to release pent-up energy or anxiety.

* Weather is unpredictable: Rain is caused by complex atmospheric conditions and isn't influenced by cat behavior.

So, while it's fun to observe animal behavior, don't rely on a cat's scratching as a weather predictor!
