Nicki swears its evil. If you even move it into the room, she's out like a flash and won't re-enter until its gone. Sometimes its funny to watch her try to slink out... she has her tail between her legs and she bumps into everything because she's so busy keeping an eye on what the nasty machine is doing instead of watching where she's going!

Though I was surprised a few weeks ago when I used the dustbuster to vaccuum off the AC filter and she didn't run away. So I pressed my luck and tried to vaccuum her back - she let me! Maybe she doesn't think too much of baby vaccuums?
