There is no scarier thing for a cat than a working vacuum cleaner. Owners notice that the pet begins to worry as soon as the vacuum cleaner is simply in the center of the room and no one is going to turn it on.
In any case, it is stressful for the cat. And for the owner, the rushing animal becomes a problem.
Let's find out why cats are so afraid of the vacuum cleaner.
Reasons
Firstly, according to observations, cats do not like loud noise.
A powerful vacuum cleaner running on the go will scare the animal, especially if you turn it on suddenly.
Secondly, once an animal is scared by a vacuum cleaner, it will be afraid of it all the time.
Thirdly, the cat regards a noisy and incomprehensible device as something aggressive, encroaching on its personal space.
Can you calm down?
If your pet is afraid of household appliances, then there is nothing you can do about it.
The only reasonable idea is to hide your cat or kitten while cleaning in a place where it will be least disturbed by noise.
An alternative solution is to buy a robot vacuum cleaner. Judging by the videos, some cats perceive them as toys.
Earlier we talked about the signs that a cat is trying to control its owner.
