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.

Biskit is terrified of tthe thing. Boots, Frank & Yoda just act annoyed.
Cherokee used to love it..he always wanted to be vaccuumed with the
attachments.

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!)

I think it's natural for them to be afraid, as it's said that nature
abhors a vacuum.

Re. the OP:

Mike isn't afraid of the vacuum; he keeps a wary eye on it, but I
usually have at least one cat-shaped area that goes unvacuumed because
he won't move.

My cat, Cheetah, almost seems to want to help me vacuum. He follows the vacuum
around wherever it goes and gives it this curious look. Of course he is also the
weirdest cat I have ever known. He eats fruit and pickles for gods sake.

Jazz isn't afraid of the vaccum cleaner, but he won't approach it either
when it's being used. He'll just sort of lay there and glance at it. But
then he's always just sort of laying there and glancing at everything g
Jazz & his mama
