Are your cats afraid of the Vaccum???

All of you that have pics of your cats.....they are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Love the kittens eatsrawfish! Cutie pies

YY is not at fond of the vacuum runs off to my bedroom or some other safe zone while its' being done. Of the Sphynx Girls, one is intrigued by the nosie and the other just disinterested. I figure they may have been born in a noisy place, lol And my brother's chocolate lab will let me use the vacuum on him - it beats vacuuming his many hairs on my furniture and while I love the big adorable and loving soul that he is, his long and MANY hairs make me appreciate the short hair of the Siamese and the almost teeny bit of fuzz these Sphynx have, lol

Cupid just sits and watches me vacuum. At first, he would run out of the room, but he got used to it. It's relatively quiet compared with most others, but it's still pretty loud. I can take the wand out and vacuum next to him and he'll just sit up and watch.

They are all petrified of it when it is on. Yet they use it as a play toy when it is off.

My 4 mo old Jasmine is not afraid of anything. She'll go right up to it, while running, checking it out. She thinks it's exciting.
The other day dh and I were vaccuming the garage floor, each of us with a different vaccum cleaner; she was right there by us, wanting to be a part of the "fun"...
Yesterday I decided to mix some frosting, and because my kids were trying to go to sleep, I brough it down to the basement, sitting on the floor. Within a minute of mixing, there she was, wanting to watch, only inches away. Watch out, kitty!!

My 3 mo. old Senja, on the other hand, is more skittish and will take off at noises like that. Sometimes she'll stay, but ready to leap at any sign of a threat.

It's almost better if they are a little scared, then at least they will watch out for themselves. Jasmine is, like I said, not afraid of anything, and I get concerned for her at times.

Yes! mine is totally scared, but has gotten pretty used to it. it doesn't cower anymore. she just looks a little aggitated

Not exactly afraid, more like a bit suspicious of it. Timotei is scared out of his wits of my ladyshaver: He must see it at all times when it's on, and tries to beat it up. Even my hand is scary after using the ladyshaver.

Sierra doesn't mind it in the least. Serenity isn't sure what to think of it, but she isn't afraid.

Mabby is psychotically terrified of the vaccuum.........she wigs
and then you dont see her for hours....pooor girl

Both of mine run as soon as it's turned on, and they won't come out til I actually go and find them and assure them the nasty machine has gone

Yep, they run and hide in the bedroom until I am done.

Josie used to hide when she was little. Now, she retreats to a high spot (usually the back of the couch) and just watches me until I'm done.

My cat use to be terrified of the vaccum, but lately he just stays on the chair watching who ever is hoovering, hoover!

Rosie runs from the vaccuum cleaner. Spotty will only run if it gets too close to him. What's funny is when the vaccuum cleaner is turned off, they have come close to it to sniff it and examine it as if to say,"Are you dead yet?"

Yes, she hates it!

1 out of 5 hates it. The other 4 think it is just an annoyance - they have to move!

terrified. omg. spiky won't run, but he hisses at me if i get near him with it, but sparky runs to the other end of the house and cowers in a closet somewhere and peeks around corners to make sure it isn't in the room before he goes in.

Wittle is very curious of it, he'll watch it, though he stays a very large distance away from it. If it comes close to him, then he'll freak out--even if it's not on!

The other two, well, lets just say that they run away to the complete other side of the house

They're still trying to figure out what it does

Both of mine are terrified of the vaccuum monster. :-)
