    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!

    Cassie Cat goes under the bed when I get the vacuum cleaner out; but when the housekeeper in my building is vacuuming the hallway carpet, she will go right up to the door. I think she is curious about the noise.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    My girls hate vacuum cleaners! Lily finds them annoying, and Luna fears them terribly!! She's hiding behind the sofa every time I start cleaning, because she knows that sooner or later, I will bring out that horrible noisy monster!

    Hoodini is quick to hide, the other two just stare at it and run off if it gets too close . They'd like to think they can challenge the vaccum...lol

    Owen used to let me vacuum him. Not lately tho. It was nice to be able to get the hair off of him. The others run away.

    The only cat that I have that isn't somewhat affected by the vacuum is Ari. She just sits her ground.

    Most of the cats hate the coffee grinder, too. I remember my RB cat, Tex. I would imagine every day for 9 or so years, I would grind coffee. Think he ever got used to it? Not so much...

    Monte will stay in the bathroom with me while I dry my hair...the others run.

    Nooooo way!!! I have never known a cat to actual LIKE the vaccuum! Tubby & CJ couldn't care a wit about it. But Peanut and Robin were/are both terrified of it and ran and hid at the first site/sound of it. I really think you MUST get a video of Lizzie. It would just be too funny to see!
