Default 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.

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.

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

It doesn't faze Shadow; Shamrock is only mildly annoyed by it and Bonnie is
terrified.
