    Your cat's biggest fear

    What does your cat hate or fear most?

    As much as the feline community has adjusted to the men's world and sure did a great job to make the humans their slaves , there are things they will always hate in our civilized culture. What does your cat detest most?

    Without exception- the vacuum cleaner! I can't even bring it out into the room without most of them running for cover. Then, inadvertently, someone always gets trapped in the room I intend to vaccuum. There it is, larger than life, blocking the only escape route..he he he...

    Followed only by the doorbell....WHY don't people just knock gently?

    Same here!!! Even when I start cleaning, Luna hides already 'cause she knows what comes next! No doubt it's a horrible monster in her eyes!

    For George it is the scary bath monster.
    After we bathed him, he didn't enter the bathroom for weeks !!!

    I'd have to say it's the vaccum cleaner followed by water. (They've only had baths once, but hated it)

    My cats love visitors, the trip to the vet isn't that bad, and Tama loves to go for rides in the car

    I think the vaccum cleaner. I love watching the cats dart out of the room as soon as I bring out the vaccum.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    They are both afraid of the vacuum cleaner, and Andy is afraid of visitors so I voted for the vacuum cleaner. I have never given either one of them a bath.

    I voted a trip to the vets. They're terrified of riding in the car too. They also hate the vacuum cleaner but Cirrus isn't too afraid of it. The last time that I vacuumed he wouldn't go hide in my room so I left him out in the main room while I vacuumed. He would just sit there and get out of my way if I got too close to him. I never bathe my cats either and Sunny loves to play in water.

    Funny how many kitties hate the vacuum cleaner! Luna also doesn't like to go to the vet, but she isn't afraid of car rides. Actually, she seems to be very interested and tries to see as much as possible from the world outside while she's sitting in her carrier box!

    I picked other because my cats all have different fears, and none of those are really their biggest ones.

    Bassett - plastic bags. She just freaks any time I have to change the garbages!!

    Nutmeg - don't really know.. nothing really *scares* her but she gets really annoyed when I make a wooshing noise through my teeth.. it makes her entire body twitch.

    Tilly - dogs. She hates them a LOT

    I'm not quite sure, but Fister hates it when the vacuum cleaner gets too close. He also hates car rides, but that could be because he's inside a box and don't know what's happening.

    I'll vote for car rides.

    Hmmm, vacuum cleaners are ahead. I wonder why? Whenever I bring out the big bad machine my cats scatter and don't come out for HOURS!!
