What are your cats afraid of?

I haven't come across anything that scares Tora yet. Mi-ke's afraid of people she doesn't know, especially knocks on the door.

All three of my cats don't like loud noises. Sassy is nervous of people he doesn't know. Both Linus and Pixie hate the vacumn.

Beauty's scared of the hoover, my brother (sometimes), birds and she's wary of the computer.

My kitten seemed to surprise my daughter's cat by coming from the back and then the side. The cat hissed and then swatted the kitten. The kitten cried.

damian isn't afraid of anything
max is afraid of loud noises, unless it's me clapping or yelling at him because he is being naughty! he is terrified of strangers.
millie isn't afraid of anything.
sophie is afraid of fast movement, noise, the cat carrier and of me putting on my pants

The vacuum!
Spunky is afraid of this stuffed reindeer. One of his first Christmas' he was trying to climb the tree. We had the reindeer at the tree. Mom picked it up and started to growl. He is still afraid of that thing. LoL

Mine aren't afraid of anything that I've found yet.

Widget is afraid of everything.

EVERYTHING. Heaven forbid he spooks himself while eating or drinking. I have to move his bowls to a different part of the house or he won't eat/drink out of them again.
Widget is NOT afraid of strangers though, he will come out and sniff everyone. He's not one to be petted but I loves to sniff and scent mark.

Pixel is not afraid of much.

Except people. She's very people shy. Go figure! Except her "people" that is. She sticks to me or her "daddy" (my husband hehe) like VELCRO.

fiona LOVES the vacuume and trys playing with it. she likes my parrot casper, like my roomate's bunny. she likes people. she doesnt give me a hard time if she needs a bath

BUT last week we saw our first dog ever. that was scary! i have never seen her tail so poofy and she had a ridge up her back about 2 inches high just looking at the dog!

Chloe: running water (except sometimes she likes to drink from the bathroom sink, other times it freaks her out, lol), the washing machine, vacuums.

Mattie: most toys seem to scare her a little.

Popsie's afraid of the hair dryer.

Pierre is just afraid of crackers not even my doggy.he just crawls and jumps and do some weird actions when the crackers are burnt.i see only crackers can be a menace for Pierre..

Regards,
Shaun

Cindy is afraid of being picked up, put into a carrier, and taken to the vet. She's also not fond of thunder.

Swanie is afraid of loud noises and anything he's not sure what it is. For example, if there's a pile of clothes on the floor, he'll sneak up on it very cautiously. If it moves for some reason, he'll jump backward. If he's really startled, he'll jump in the air. The other night he was sitting by the throw rug in the family room, and I moved it a bit. He jumped up and back. I shouldn't laugh at the little guy, but it looked very funny.

Lily is afraid of everything - people, loud noises, toys getting thrown too close to her, sudden movements, slow movements, looking at her, trying to hand feed her treats... She used to take treats until she bumped her mouth while taking a treat from DH and now she's scared of them, but slowly getting better.

Smudge is only afraid of heights She loves getting on your shoulder, and rolling around your shoulders, but she seems to freak out when she looks down due to her depth perception issues.

Stumpy doesn't like the vacuum, but isn't "scared" of it. She's not really afraid of anything else. A friend in our complex walks his exciteable dog by our place regularly, and the dog jumps up at our windows and puts her nose up to the screen where Stumpy and Smudge are, and they just sniff her back and pretty much just ignore her!

Quill is terrified of my cousin. The first time they were introduced to each other, I made the mistake of holding Quill, and I guess the way my cousin popped out of nowhere (He was getting his boots off in the doorway and I was in the kitchen) just freaked Quill out. He actually HISSED (!!!), the only time I've ever heard him hiss (because he's quite mellow!) scrambled over my shoulder and clawed my back up as he jumped down. Quill used to run away every single time my cousin came over, but they're slowly getting used to each other. He's a little bit skittish, but it's more like bratty/playful skittish than scared skittish.

the vacuum, anyone who comes to the door and UNBELIEVABLY the ironing board.

I think it is because I used to iron near the back of the couch when they were kittens and whenever I brough the ironiing board out I would chase them away so they would not get near it.

Now when it comes out of the closet they run and peek out from under the bed till it goes away.

Misty is scared to death of the sound the garbage disposal makes and will hide under the recliner or my bed.

About the only thing I have found that makes Greta run and hide is when I get a new garbage bag for the trash can and she sees me snapping it in the air to open the bag before putting it in the trash can. Not sure why this freaks her out but she always runs away.

Nothing at all. She is crazy. Sounds that I would assume normal cats would run from, she runs to, checking it out. She is the most outgoing, social and curious cat I have ever known.

Ares is afraid of NOTHING He is attracted to loud noises and loves water. (It makes vacuuming hard and power tools dangerous.) Hypnos is wary when it comes to loud noises but loves water. Both love people and don't mind the vet. I guess they are both pretty fearless.
