we have a older cat named mrs. beasley[family affair] my son has a guinnie pig[pettie] my son will have pettie out and mrs.beasley will come up and look and high tail it out of the room! she seems to be really scarrd of pettie? is it becouse she is old maybe going seniel? she snores really loud too! wonder if they have a cat snorring contest ?

How old is Mrs. Beasley? Is this behavior with Pettie constant or occasional?

Although my Livvy (3 years old) and Cassy (almost 3) will occasionally have 'cat fits': entering a room, exhibiting fear response, and race away. Not sure, think it's almost an exercise for cats... Does anyone else have experience with this? (Or are my darlings somewhat insane? )

hi! no mrs.beasely only does this when petie is on the floor by my son,he has a car rug to use as a boundry limit, and a soda box
pettie usualy sits in ! may be he scarred her as the cats also have a box to lay,play in at another location? or she thinks it is her box, and is insulted there is a guinnie pig in it,wonder if she knows the differance from the rats and the guinnie pig[pettie]
does your cats run into the walls sometimes?mrs.beasley does when she is running into another room!sometimes,although
she has good eyes ,says the vet! she is about 10-12yrs and looks very well for her age,aside from urinary infection or poss, bladder stones we are waiting if it returns to check more into this!

Hate to say this AmberLee - but if I don't someone else will - of course their insane LOL aren't all cats?! Whoops, or is that the owners - I forget! All three of mine do the running away thing - especially Ketchum who is scared by his own shadow!! LOL

Hi Michelle - could it be that Mrs Beasley just hates guinea pigs? I mean people have likes and dislikes so why not cats? Must admit I don't like hamsters, guinea pigs and the like

hi! i suppose you could be right! my husband does the same thing too! come to think of it ! they are both ok as long as the pig ,and rats are in there cage on the other side of the room , or better yet in another room! my black cat [blackie] ofcourse ! has nothing to do with snakes: or cracks in concrete, strings on the ground, anything that looks like a line or snake! he will jump up in the air and run too![weird cat] must have gotten zapped when the electric line was down after a rain a while back! or had it out with one of my relocated black snakes in my flower beds?
poor blackie! he has such a hard time every spring its something,last year we were leaving and my son yells blackie has something !i looked up the yard and repied its probly a mole! he was running around ect: when we got back from the store, he was on the front porch looking quite unhappy , you see he had a big lizzard latched on his lip!as it turns out some one had dropped off a [geacko] in a box and it got out! we had to take him to the vet and the vet used a screw driver[luckly no surg]
to get the geacko unlatched, poor blackie he so hates any kind of line!both are fine except, for there small nicks on there lips!
a comemerative of there meeting!ha,ha!the things they get into!

Poor Blackie - what a trauma for a timid boy!! But I've got this mental picture in my head of him running round with a gecko hanging off his mouth and try as I might - I can't help giggling
Don't tell him Michelle - he'll be mortified!
