All living beings experience fear. People are mostly afraid of the unknown, but their pets are afraid of very specific things.

It is believed that cats are madly afraid of a vacuum cleaner and water. But this is not the only force that can really scare a cat. We will tell you what phobias pets suffer from.

There is probably no more cautious creature than a cat. Obeying instincts, it avoids everything incomprehensible, but there are things that they are openly afraid of and can make them run away.

It is believed that cats are afraid of water, but it has been repeatedly noted that sometimes animals themselves climb into bathtubs, basins or other containers where there is not much water.

In fact, they are not afraid of water, they just don’t like wet fur.

What can scare a cat

A sharp and loud sound can really scare a cat. Hence the unconscious fear of a vacuum cleaner.

It is known that pets navigate using their good sense of smell, sight and hearing too. And the sound that seems normal to a person may seem terrible to a cat.

Cats are also afraid of strangers, dogs and changes in life - because of this they can develop stress and aggression.

And at the same time, despite all their phobias, pets are considered to be quite brave creatures and can even stand up for the defense of their fellow creatures.
