It has been well documented that peoples moods are tied to the weather.
Do you think animals share the same feelings? Have you observed your pets or animals being affected by a dark and rainy day?
No, I love rainy days. I don't recall experiencing a change in myself when it's rainy or sunny. Now, when it get's stormy, I get so energised and excited. I love looking out through the windows to see lightening bolts. Lightening Storms are probably the only time that I get so energised.
No COZ THEN I PLAYS THEM VIDEO GAMES
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH GET OFF THE PAVEMENT YOU PEDESTRIAN
Yes gloomy days make me feel down for sure
they suck it's Winter time here and it feels
horrible cause the days are so short.
I tend to get rather moody on days when the weather is dreary. The weather doesn't appear to affect my cat though.
For anyone who hates gloomy days, I'm about to change your mind.

Your Welcome.
Hmmm. Isn't the depression linked to vitamin D? Perhaps other animals don't need sunshine as much as humans.
I feel at peace when it rains and empowered when the sky is dark and sinister. In fact, an empty sky with just the scorching sun is sometimes an uninteresting and potentially depressing sight.
I do not believe animals are affected.
I remember when I was overseeing the build of a mega yacht in Vancouver Washington, across the river from Portland, the continual rain and overcast skies really brought me down. I could see why the Pacific North West is the suicide capital of North America. Dreary and depressing, for sure.
One of my dogs hates gloomy days because he's afraid of rain. The others don't care though.
As for myself, well, I don't like them either!
I want SUNLIGHT. :-)
I'd like to wake up on a beach in Malaysia right now. Beautiful location. Of course, animals are affected by weather. We all are. The moon, tides, our circadian rhythms. Melatonin production is influenced by light exposure through your eye on the pineal gland. Humans in the modern world try to ignore that they're mammals. They leave lights on when they should dim them. They don't get enough sunlight for Vitamin D synthesis.
Mammals, the warm-bodied type, tend to chill out when weather gets 'gloomy'. However, dogs, I know that LOVE an Arctic blast, get lively when ice and snow are underfoot.
I feel indifferent about it. On days I'm not working, I stay home regardless of the weather. Sometimes I go for a walk in the rain, just like any other day.
Those are most days where I am and there is definately a high rate of depression here.
My cat certainly loves to sleep on dark and rainy days. So she's definitely affected by the weather in some way. No idea if she's upset, though.
I sometimes feel less energetic and happy on very cloudy and rainy days. So the weather certainly affects me.
Meh. Depends on the person, I tend to get more depressed in summer. Mostly because I feel like a limp rag. Animals just lay down and look like roadkill, not sure if they're upset or not though.
