I saw a shot on animal planet about this...
they said that cats, because of their fur, can feel the change in the electric charge in the air- they are also more prone to getting struck by lightning because of their fur- and this is why they are afraid.

Animals sense different things a lot more easily than humans do. We can smell the rain, but maybe your cat just knows it is going to rain. Dogs know when their owners are on their way home. Even if it isn't at the normal time they come home every day, the dogs just know. It's an animal thing. It's pretty nifty though!!

It depends how it acts, if uneasy, then it does like the rain, if just acknowledging, then it is your cat's instincts that tell it, "it is going to rain". Or it is afraid of the rain, if it sees it and runs off to somewhere.

Maybe it has arthritis and it upset the cat and therefor it acts up. Or maybe it is just trying to tell you it is going to rain and it hates water.

Cats and dogs can hear the thunder and lighting long before we can so, they freak out because they aer nto used to it and are afraid.

Its just something that animals sense before we see it. They can do this with all sorts of weather conditions and usually with earthquakes as well. It's normal.
