what are you cats afraid of?

what are you cats afraid of? my cat sapphie is afraid of all water, vacuum cleaners, and loud noises?

balyee and baby arent really scared of much, but brandy is scared of almost everything.

Kitters is scared of all other animals! She also doesn't like water though she thinks watching me take a bath is especially facinating.

Vacuum cleaner. Kitten, dog and little boy all run for cover every time!

Willow's afraid of a lot of things. She's just a naturally skittish kitty, and if she sees something she doesn't recognize, she'll ignore everyone until she's checked it out (while doing that head-bob thing that cats do when they're unsure about something).

Buffy's not afraid of much, except the vacuum cleaner (but that's not too odd, Willow and Jake, my dog, are afraid of it too). Buffy went outside today while I did the dishes, and at some point it rained. It was just a quick rain, maybe 30 seconds (I think that since the sidewalk had only a few splats here and there, not enough to completely cover the sidewalk). I didn't know it had rained, so when I finished the dishes and went to go check on Buffy, I didnt' see her, but I saw the rain drops. So I go outside, look to where I had last seen her a few minutes ago (the garden by the front door) and didn't see her. So a "Buffyyyyyyyyy!" came out, and here comes Buffy, running lickedy split from somewhere in the direction of my neighbour's tree (I think she might have been hiding near it, possibly would have crossed the sidewalk if I hadn't come right then and there). "Save me, mommy!" So I picked her up when she stopped next to me, brought her inside, and gave her a good scrubdown with a towel. Apparantly she doesn't like getting rubbed down with a towel as much as my dog does, but she held still long enough for me to dry her.

vacuum cleaners, going to the vets and strangers but they are still kittens

Red Cat and Purdy are scared of PEOPLE more than anything else! They run and hide behind the furnace if they so much as hear a car coming in the driveway, let alone if someone walks over and rings the doorbell. They are still afraid of my next door neighbor, who has lived there for three years, although if the neighbors are inside, they will go look in their windows or sprawl out on their railing.

They are so afraid of people (who occupy vehicles) that I have had little fear of them being run over when I let them outside. If they hear a car coming, they run and hide in the woods.

And, like most cats, all three of my cats are deathly afraid of the vacuum cleaner and the hair dryer. All three are afraid of being put in the carrier, as that means a trip to the vets or the groomer.

Loud noises, water, the vacum, dogs, the vet, other cats

Peanut Butter is scared to death of thunder and lightening, little chickensh*t that he is. His ears go back and he darts around the house crouched down with his belly on the ground. He hides under things when a thunderbolt sounds and and if he wore pants he'd probably pee those when lightening crashed! silly cat! so far thats all hes afraid of-- hes a daredevil in most other respects.

Zoe hides from noises she can't "see". Like outside the front door. Now if it's out back, she heads for the glass door for a look. There's not much else that she's really scared of. She's cautious, but once she figures out that something isn't going to hurt her she checks it out.
Miss Kitty is afraid of large, strange objects. She hisses at the landlord if he brings a tool box. She hissed at me and my step-dad when we were moving my stuff in. She won't run and hide, but she'll hiss.
And of course, they both HATE the vacuum cleaner. They see me go for the closet and they hide. lol

Samson & Emmy aren't afraid of a huge amount. They don't like the vacuum, but won't run away from it. In fact, if I bring the hose attachment near either of them, they'll actually stand their ground and take some swats at it!
Samson's got a pretty good left-right-left swing combo.
Ranger, on the other hand, is afraid of almost everything, vacuum cleaner, thunder, loud trucks, etc., that when he hears any of those, he instantly starts looking for a way under the couch!! He will also scare himself. He'll chase one of the other two cats, and he'll end up with the puffy tail. He's my little cowardly lion.

Reilly is afraid of alot of stuff...even though his daddy says he's a macho boy!

- the vacuum cleaner
- the cat carrier (he pees everytime I have to put him in it)
- other cats
- other people

Both of mine are afraid of the vacuum cleaner but they love my electric razor and try to get between it and my legs. Go figure! I've heard of cats who don't mind having the vacuum cleaner run over their fur to groom them. Is anyone lucky enough to have a cat like that?

The dog!

And they really don't like vacuum cleaners - I think that is a universal cat dislike!! Sunday is very mellow and not much bothers her, but Sashka is a flighty little girl and tends to jump at shadows...

I used to have a cat who didn't give a damn about the VC, in fact we used it on her tail!

This little miss goes and jumps on the sofa with a big puffy tail but doesn't mind my hair dryer.

Orei- Everything. He's a fearful little boy.

Princess- The vacuum cleaner ( I don't know of a cat that isn't) and the rats!

This little 16.5 lb boy is afraid of everything And I have no idea why, he's the biggest sweetheart, but what a baby

Katie is afraid of the vacuum, loud noises, Dogs, and water.

Mine are afraid of me, when I put my shoes on!! UH-Ohhhh...THAT is the signal that I am LEAVING THE HOUSE (and they can't go with me!! )
Ohhhhhh...and the vacuum cleaner too!
(although my Spikey, did NOT ever run from that vacuum cleaner, like Missy does! NOPE!! Spike FACED his fears!!!!!! He'd run up to it and BITE the vacuum cleaner and then stalk off with his tail straight up!!! )

Outdoors.. he likes to look outside, but is terrified of actually being outside. The other thing is his carrier. Just the sight of it or sound of it opening will send him hiding.
