I voted a trip to the vets. They're terrified of riding in the car too. They also hate the vacuum cleaner but Cirrus isn't too afraid of it. The last time that I vacuumed he wouldn't go hide in my room so I left him out in the main room while I vacuumed. He would just sit there and get out of my way if I got too close to him. I never bathe my cats either and Sunny loves to play in water.
