My Cat Thinks the Vacuum Is a Monster

Why does my cat act like the vacuum cleaner is the end of the world? I swear, the second I even touch the handle, she’s gone—full Olympic sprint under the bed, tail puffed, eyes wide. I’m not even vacuuming her, just the living room rug that she sheds on like it’s her job. She’ll peek out, judge me, and then vanish again if I so much as move the cord. The best part? She’s fine with thunderstorms, fireworks, even the blender. But the vacuum? Nope. That’s where she draws the line. Anyone else have a pet with an oddly specific fear? I feel like I’m living with a tiny, furry drama queen. Share your stories so I don’t feel like the only one negotiating peace treaties with household appliances. #PetLife #FurryFears #CatProblems #Pets
