My cats and bunnies are NOT afraid of the vacuum cleaner at all. Amazing. I sometimes have to yell "move" to the cats. They are very good at destroying any bed making progress each day...and when it is time to change the sheets...well, its horrible. They often hang down over the cabinets while I wash dishes and/or make food. They must think that I will give them something to eat and they want to be available. Dusting is fun too, but fortunately I do not like to dust that often.......to my mother's horror.

I did have cats that were terrified of the vacuum cleaner. My mother suggested that if I used it more often, they would not have the problem! Not true.

Dogs are a bit more of a pain in the neck when it comes to cleaning, I do believe.
