Cats can be considered to be quite cautious animals, since this helped them survive in the wild.
Many fears remain to this day.
What are cats most afraid of?
Animals that are larger
Some pets are afraid of even other cats, so fear of dogs is quite logical. The pet does not know what to expect from the animal, so it immediately begins to defend itself or run away.
Over time, the cat will get used to the dog, but it is better for it to know the dog from the first months of life.
Water
Everyone knows about this fear, but not everyone knows what causes it. For example, we know that cats love washing. This is necessary in order to mask their smell from other animals.
But water makes it stronger, which will give the cat away to potential enemies.
Also, in water the cat becomes absolutely helpless, which is also a cause of fear.
Loud sounds
Cats' instincts tell them that loud sounds are not good: they are a warning of impending danger.
Therefore, fear of sounds has been preserved as one of the survival mechanisms.
