OK... I'll take a stab at it...
 

Not sure anyone can answer that definitively... But I know I feel energized right before a storm, or when the Santa Ana's are rolling in...  probably has something to do with changing barometric pressure, and the fact that cats are hyper sensitive to changes in temperature and vibrations anyway???
 
...but it seems to be something people have been noticing for centuries... In Norse mythology the cat is said to have great influence on the weather,.. And English sailors still say the cat has a gale of wind in her tail when she is unusually frisky... Witches that rode upon the storms were said to assume the form of cats; and the stormy northwest wind is still called the cat's nose in the Harz mountains of Germany.
