You can find a huge number of videos on the Internet, the main characters of which are cats who are scared because of a cucumber.
Seeing this vegetable, some fluffy creatures jump.
Any other oblong fruit can also scare a cat. For example, a zucchini or a banana.
What is the reason for such an unusual reaction of pets?
Why does a cat jump when it sees a cucumber?
It's very simple: the animal thinks that a snake or some other representative of the reptile class has appeared in front of it.
The fluffy one gets scared or starts to feel irritated due to the appearance of an “enemy” in the place where the purr is resting or feeding.
This explains the cat’s strange reaction – jumping.
However, not every fluffy creature can be scared with a cucumber. Some pets turn out to be quite persistent and calm.
But don't try to experiment to find out how brave your meowing four-legged friend is.
After all, the unexpected appearance of an oblong-shaped fruit in a cat’s field of vision can be extremely stressful for the animal.
It is possible that the pet will not only be very scared, but will also get injured as a result of jumping.
Understand: you can’t scare an animal and risk its health for the sake of an experiment or creating another “funny” video (although in fact there is nothing funny in such videos).
