My cat is terrified of the vacuum, cleaner, and so is Timber. Leather doesn't care. Icarus doesn't like it, but will sit still and glare at it. Frisco is afraid of it, but if I bring it in his cage he'll attack it.
Honey is scared of the vacuum cleaner, Digger doesn't care, Chubby doesn't care, Prince just walks away, and Nelly just puts her crest up... wondering what that awful noise is. And Otis just looks at it.

I didn't vote because one is and one isn't.
Simba is sooo scared of it, we normally let him outside when we vacuum. Nala is fine with it and acts like it's nothing.

Mine don't care about it. Sometimes, I'll have to vaccum around them, because they're to lazy to get up. :p

Chester’s not afraid of it. He wants to kill it! He gets really PO’d when I take off the covering and vacuum the ugly couch for some reason.

Must be a terrier thing. Basil wants to kill the vacuum, too. Actually, he has taken a couple of good chunks out of the plastic parts! Now I put him out, or I can't get the vacuuming done. He also kills rakes, so when we rake, we have to lock him inside. Goofy dog. :rolleyes:

Chester's tried to attack the lawn mower and the weedeater :eek: outside, so he gets locked in for that.
He also likes the swiffer. :rolleyes:

That's so cute, moosmom! :D
I always put Malone in his crate when I vaccuum, and he really doesn't like it. I know I vaccuum too long when he takes up howling at the same pitch. :rolleyes: Marigold usually runs and hides under the bed.

I have 4 scaredy cats when it come to the vacuum cleaner.:) I have to put them in my room while I vacuum the rest of my condo. They're pretty much used to the routine now but when I first adopted Sunny, he'd hide under my bed for at least an hour after I had finished vacuuming.

Ash likes to be vaccumed, whereas lexie is just very curious about it all, not really scared, but my RB Sooti was petrified.

Popcorn runs boldly, and hisses at the vacuum, trying to scare it away. He doesn't seem to be to scared of it, but he stares at it from the corner of his eye, and hisses whenever it gets near.
Muffin *hates* the vacuum though. She's scared of it. Whenever we turn the vacuum on, her crest goes straight up, in a 90 degree angle, and she runs and hides, while staring at it constantly from whatever *safe spot* she chooses. LOL

My Luna really fears it. She's hiding as long as I use it, and it takes a while till she's coming out after that. She already disappears when she sees me starting cleaning, long before I bring the vacuuum out.
Kirsten
They both bark at it and try to attack it. :p :rolleyes:

Blueberry is (surprisingly) not afraid of the big vacuum cleaner, lol. But he is afraid of the small one:rolleyes: :p The small one is the ones where you don't need the plug in it, and it vacuums small areas. The big one is for the floor, but he's not afraid of it. He used to run and hide everytime he heard the noise, but now he's not afraid. But he runs when he sees the small one.:p
Katie is VERY afraid of it. Well, Isis is afraid of everything.:rolleyes:

I love hearing about Popcorn and Muffin's personalities.:) Nelly's crest goes straight up too, and then she runs back and forth on her post, until she is used to the noise.
happy, shadow, and misty want to kill it, and perky, Ripley, and Blair are downright frightend of itonce when my mom was vacuming perky got so frightend she climbed into my arms then higher onto my shoulders, andthen perched herself on my back with her claws digging in, I had to yell for help because well that HURT, and I could not get her off so I had to get my mom to turn off the vacume and get her off of me! :eek:

Smokey used to not care, but lately if it gets near him he starts barking and running around in circles like crazy.
Reggie and Nebo both run away from it.
They don't attack the vacuum cleaner but just wait until we have the paper shredder out.......for some ODD reason Reggie and Smokey go INSANE trying to kill the paper shredder. :confused:

Felicia hides when I am vacuuming. Beau stays just out of it's reach and moving when I get closer to him. He does not hide like Felicia does.

Bob is not really scared and as long as he is on something and not on the floor. Joey is very scared and run and hide, when ever it is turned on.
