Afraid of vaccum?
Just curious if anyone out there that has a cat (or two, or three....) that
is NOT afraid of the vaccum cleaner? All of mine run as soon as they see it. Well except for Bob, but Bob is deaf so just kind of looks at it if it nudges him. Anyway, one of my foster kittens actually chases it and climbs on it. One of the others sits and watches, but won't get too close. I've thought maybe he was deaf too, but don't think that's the case (I've seen him come from another room to chase the vaccum). I just thought this was unusual since all of mine run and hide (hmmmm....I should start running it when I eat, I wouldn't have such a large audience then!)

Its possible that the one that runs to it is deaf, but feels the vibration
when you turn it on. Than I cannot imagine, but have heard that there are dogs and cats as well that like to be vacuumed. I can bathe my cats, but they would skin me alive if I were to try to vacuum them. Jo "JoJo" wrote in message ...

Three of my four do the disappearing act when the petinator (i.e., vacuum)
comes into use - the fourth, Weeble, is wary but curious, watches it from the back of the sofa or the kitty tower, where it's safe. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Pearl is like Weeble, but Grant and Sugar hide if they see me picking stuff off the floor! They know the vacuum monster is sure to follow. Karen |

JoJo http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html Cinder disappears, but the formerly feral and now fearless Rosie calmly observes from wherever she may be at the time. She also goes to the window during thunder storms, just to see what's going on and, I think, to dare the storm to come and get her. I hope Mother Nature never decides to take her up on it because we live in a hurricane zone. Cheers, Annie |

"JoJo" dumped this in
on 12 Apr 2004: Just curious if anyone out there that has a cat (or two, or three....) that is NOT afraid of the vaccum cleaner? It doesn't faze Shadow; Shamrock is only mildly annoyed by it and Bonnie is terrified. -- Cheryl |
