I hate those doorbell commercials too! Another bad one is the TV show Frasier, they always are ringing the doorbell on that show. My dogs go nuts.


Anyway, my cat Bo has never been abused and hates visitors. You have dogs - do they get really excited when people come over? If your dogs are like mine, they go nuts and I think that is why Bo hides - it's not the visitors, he'd rather stay away from the hyper, barking, jumping dogs. I let him hide out until he feels comfortable coming out. Could that be part of Minion's fear?
