Holden runs and hides. Sometimes he climbs the screen on the sliding doors and tries to get out the top of them! It was cute when he was a tiny kitten, but he is getting big now and I am afraid he is going to tear the screen off one of these days!

Brandy and Shark quite happily sleep through the noise of the vacuum, Arwen runs off as though it's gonna suck her tail up or something

Both Tailer and Forest are terrified of the vacuum. I have to make sure that Forest isn't sleeping in the same room I'm vacuuming because if I switch it on without warning him he'll panic and go careening into walls and furniture and doors in his attempt to flee the evil vacuum. He's even got our cleaning ladies trained to warn him first.

Angel with follow the vacumm with caution but Tiger will run under the bed or anywhere 'safe'.
When it's off though, they both go and sniff it.
My big problem is Tiger's hair. I have to clean out the filter every time because he sheds so much!

All but one of my cats have been afraid of a vaccum cleaner.
RB Inky was afraid until he "attacked" one that was not running.
After that Inky was not afraid and I could even lightly vaccum him.
