Just happened across this cartoon about cats & dogs

Thought everybody could use a little reminder to keep pets where they can not look at the eclipse. 😎

1. I'm assuming this is for humor

Just in case, though, animals don't look at the sun in general. Safety issues are more about excitement/anxiety from their humans.

2. Exactly. Few look up. Occasionally some (usually those scared by thunderstorms) get nervous when the sky darkens

but most just go into "nighttime" or nap mode. Livestock not on pasture continuously might go back to the barn early.

Now earthquakes are a different matter. Many/most pet and domesticated animals will react.

4. Thanks for the info

I was unaware how pets would act if everybody was looking up.

5. Thank you for this thoughtful post. Fortunately, my little guy will be

snuggled under the covers, his favourite spot if I am not home.

6. Good point! They've been saying to keep your dogs inside during the eclipse!
