    When I vacuum, Tina Peepers like to " point out " where I have missed a spot. Norton was known to sleep while I vacuumed, and Ralph and Bianca are not bothered by it at all!!

    Bear (my normally scaredy cat) seems to like my vacuume cleaner. He's let me take the upholstery attatchment to him without a problem.

    As for the others;
    Jack hisses if he even sees the vacuume (whether it's plugged in or not),
    the rest seem to wait to see if it makes noise first before running and hiding.

    Lulu is terrified just when seeing it.

    But Pippa, my mum's cat is not afraid at all. She even tuns tummy up so you can vacuum her, and then plays with it!

    Mac runs as far as he can get when the vacuum starts up. Ming stays in the room, but won't get very close to it. He seems more wary than scared. He'll just sit on the couch and watch me use it.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    It's funny because my girl Ziggy Stardust will hide from almost everyone that comes over but the vacuum doesn't seem to scare her. She'll just sit and watch me. Pearl, Storm, and Sky will usually tolerate it until I get too close to them. Sunny hates it and will run and hide in bedroom. He's gotten better over the years because at first he'd hide under my bed for at least 30 minutes or more even after I'd stopped vacuuming.

    No way for my cats either! They disappear when the vacuum comes out.

    You have to get a video of this somehow. Would love to see it!
