Cat’s videos have always been extraordinarily popular on YouTube, but more recently pet owners have captured a newer phenomenon: cats going crazy in cucumbers.
In these videos, cat owners sneak over their pets while they eat, placing a cucumber behind them.
Once the cats finish eating and turning around, they face the cucumber and react jumping and surround them to flee

But why exactly this behavior happens?

Cats are always on alert

As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

Their survival instinct is afraid of everything, intermittent lights to noisy cat toys. Unknown objects that appear at random near them can start them.

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

While it may not be the cucumber itself that scares the cat, it is the general change in the environment that can evoke an scared reaction.

If something has been silently in the environment in its presence, the cat could easily confuse the cucumber with a predator who prepares to attack.

Pepinos are long and green, which can make cats think that a snake has dragged behind them.

Is it cruel to scare a cat with a cucumber?

He can be tempting to try to scare his feline friend with a cucumber based on the perceptibly fun reactions that he probably obtains, but in reality this could be relatively cruel to his cat.

To deceive his cat to think that a dangerous animal has sneaked behind him or she can cause traumatic stress, and do it repeatedly could even lead to more aggressive or other worrying behavior, or even result in the PTSD in some cases.

You will not want to hire a pet travel service to take your friend to a retirement

Cats can also be injured when they try to maneuver around cucumber, jumping to nearby counters or other objects that result in injuries, or can break close valuable items.
However, if you have completely lost your head and want your cat to become familiar with an inanimate cucumber as a partner for life, it is better if you present the cucumber directly instead of being placed behind them, since they probably never get along if the latter continues to happen.

Try to resist the impulse to leave a “cucumber surprise” for your cat

Even if you simply want to present a cucumber as a surprise gift for a cat, which would be strange considering that there is nothing interest in them for a feline, it would do well to avoid awakening their stress and instead arouse their curiosity.

And although cucumber will finally never hurt the cat, the cat will probably have the same reaction again and again every time it presents itself as a surprise.
One way to see this differently is to imagine that someone is constantly dropping a false spider when you have Arachnophobia.

It would not be so fun, and although it is possible that you do not fall eventually, a cat will probably not learn that it is just a joke.
So, avoid doing your cat’s trick on your cat, since it does more damage than good

Hello everyone! Today is National Dog Day And Levi and I would like to take this time to wish all our dog friends a super happy day! (We want the kittens for a happy day too, since every day it is HIS hahaha)

At the end of June I had the pleasure of meeting a blog friend in person in person, as well as her beloved Penny dog! The charming woman I met is Dawn King and I will link to her blog below!

Levi, and Dawn’s beautiful Sheltie, Penny, had a game date at the end of June. Both doubted at the beginning (Because that’s how shelties roll¡), But soon adorable Penny and his bad forms that Levi had fun! Almost all Playdate photos were taken by Dawn, who is a photographer much better than me!

(In the lower right, the photo Levi is on the left, Penny is on the right)

Dawn made a A LOT more thorough (and adorable) Blog post on this fun meeting on your blog and you can read that here! (There are more photos there too!)

Enjoy!!
