re: #116 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

I LMAO at that pic. We were watching cats totally freaking out over cucumbers videos a couple of days ago and I really don’t get why cats freak our at pickles and cucumbers.

Anyone?

The only thing I could think of was snakes.

You ask a good question!

I have not tried to verify the cucumber thing with my very elderly cat. But after googling down a quick rabbit hole, this Newsweek article seems to be the consensus of the internet articles:

Cats are not afraid of cucumbers, but they get scared if they see a sudden change in the environment around them.

This is the advice I have been following:

Experts suggest avoiding making cats scared on purpose as owners do in the viral videos as it is damaging for the animals.
