Oh no! That is a scary situation. I recommend you bring your cat with you. You may not know how long you'll have to vacate your home and even if you leave food or water out if Luna is stressed and scared she may not eat or get very sick. Or if there is flooding you could leave Luna behind to a very dangerous situation. It's definitely the better idea to bring Luna with you. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope you and Luna stay safe for the impending storm!
