I got the vacuum out yesterday and didn't my littlest guy start hissing at it!
I've yet to see him hiss! He started stalking it! Of course, when I turned it on, he took off like the wind!

How funny!
The kittens bum-rush my Dirt Devil Power Sweeper! They hunch up. hop sideways and chase it through the room. They think they are SO big don't they?

There are two things in this world that will make 8-Bit fall in line. One is peanut butter, the other the vacuum cleaner. He quakes in fear and hides on top of the refrigerator. Scratch, my shy guy will play with the cord and attack the attachment tube. I believe bravery is measured in small steps rather than giant leaps.

Love the tough guy displays!
Pushy will swipe and glare at the vacuum whereas Wiggs will run and hide. He's gotten braver over time. I think if we were to actually vacuum on a regular basis, he might get used to it!

Well, the funny thing is, I vacuum every other day, so you'd think he'd be used to it by now! I think he was just in an ornery mood!

My 2 steer clear of the vaccuum. Luck just hops up high and gives it dirty looks, while Louie will cower in the corner of the couch.

I've never had anybody attack it
I announce right before I turn it on "Loud thing!!!" and I actually think they know the drill now
most just go in the back of the house while I vacuum the living room... but when I move towards my bedroom there is mad dash to get back up to the living room

I can just picture them climbing all over each other to get past you and the LOUD THING!

LOL that is so funny. I love it. Tavia just hides from any loud noises or sudden movements she doesn't like them. But she simply goes to either my room and hides under the bed or to the laundryroom or bathroom.

Isn't it strange that pretty much there all afraid of the vacuum, I can use mine as a way of keeping them from going into a certin room
by just sitting it close to where I don't want them, it looks like a big pow wow all of them sitting around looking at it and each other like You get it Dunkin your biggest
I'm not gonna get it ..
