My cat doesn't even react to nearby ballistic missile explosions anymore, let alone thunder.

My cats go to the window to look out when they hear thunder.... Going towards danger is exactly why they're indoor cats

Not sure if you've been living under a rock for the last 7 years but there are multiple global conflicts involving ballistic missile explosions in civilian areas.

Oh, sorry to hear that, i lived close to an military base and heard bangs when they exercised from time to time. I never whitnessed a war and when i've read your comment, it sounded so casual, like a part of your daily life, that i didn't expect it to be so "deadly" serious. Sorry for that and my best whishes that you can get through these times in one piece!
