Let’s play.

Please feel free to substitute iguana, wombat or naked mole rat for your pet of choice in today’s question.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a gentle soul.

.

.

Though he was found wandering the roads by the shelter from which he was adopted, I can’t imagine him ever being a true stray.

.

.

He hides under the bed when company comes.

He runs from the vacuum, my blow dryer and the blender.

Loud noises, the voice of a stranger and barking dogs put him on the edge of a heart attack.

He was even terrified of the Christmas tree.

.

.

But the strangest thing he’s frightened of…

The thing that sends him skidding down the hall in terror every time it’s deployed?

.

.

The white trash bag I pull from a box, shake to loosen and line the kitchen can with. He’ll be halfway across the house… hear that, and run for cover.

It’s bizarre.

So what crazy thing is your pet scared of?

  1. Awwe. Poor Lord Dudley.

    No pets now. But one of my cats I used to have was terrified to point she wet herself of the ceiling fan. So, that never went on while I had her.

      1. It took her some time before she would come out from under the cabinet in the next room. And then she walked with extreme caution, looking up, while entering the room to check it wasn’t on.
