What are cats afraid of

Have you ever wondered what cats are afraid of? They are animals that, apparently, are very safe, very confident, and therefore very brave, but the reality is that we would be surprised how scary they can be.

And it is that insecurity is something very typical of felines; in fact, that is why they react suspiciously to new situations. So to make it easier for you to understand your furry ones, let's talk a bit about your fears.

Firecrackers and fireworks

The cat's sense of hearing is highly developed; what's more, thanks to this they are able to hear the sound of a rodent from seven meters away. Firecrackers and fireworks they sound very loud even for us, so knowing this we can understand why they get so scared.

Cucumbers (and anything unexpected)

Surely you have seen the odd video in which you see a cat that, when it turns around, sees a cucumber and gets scared. Well, it must be made clear that You are NOT afraid of the cucumber itself, but of anything you do not expect, be it a person, a furry, object, fruit ... or whatever.

Vacuum cleaners and dryer

Vacuum cleaners, as well as hair dryers have made our lives easier, but the noise they emit is too loud for cats because of what we mentioned before: they have a very sensitive sense of hearing.

Strangers and people

Unless it is a very sociable cat and you feel that this person or furry is friendly, the normal thing is that he runs away as soon as he sees someone he does not know, or hide. It can also happen that the cat is not afraid of, for example, dogs, but that one day after a traumatic situation it does begin to fear them.

Water

There are exceptions, but cats usually don't like water. Why? For the simple reason that they are native to hot deserts, and they are not very used to getting into it.
