Cat afraid of fish

(snip) Opinions. It's hard to say what spooks kitties but I think your suppositions are sound. It seems like that kind of abuse to me too. Our Speckles was a stray, estimated by the vet at 3-years-old at the time. We've had her for nearly 12 years and she's still deathly afraid of *paper*. We don't need to make a sound with it or come toward her, and it can be a newspaper, magazine, or single sheet of paper; she runs as soon as she sees it picked up. Any sudden loud noise strikes terror in her little breast, which is more understandable - most kitties don't like it either - but hers seems more traumatic than the others. A couple of years ago, she had her first X-ray and, much to our surprise, she was found to have a B-B pellet lodged in her body. Obviously she didn't have a very happy life before coming to us but hasn't forgotten it in these 12 years. Jeanne |
