Why are cats afraid of cucumbers?

Published

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!

The two photos in the lower right of the collage above are not of that day.
The lower collage has more Playdate photos

(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!)

We have just published our number 90 at the factory -Negeo 70 in the Klepto Cat series.

This is fun because the cover presents a photo that I took from the cat model for these stories. This is smokey, also known as rags. Chasing a bee in my mother’s garden.

In this story, Craig and the new home of Iris is finally a reality and plan an inauguration of the house, but someone or something is trying to cancel their dreams. Their peace and security are also at risk at risk, so they summon the Sheriff’s department and request the assistance of a psychic to help unravel the growing mystery. When everything else fails, they bring rags to sniff the problems, and Solfate, it does, eventually leading Craig to the culprit. This story leads readers about some unexpected excursions. However, do not worry, Rags also leads us to a happy surprise end.

Available in Kindle and printing on Amazon.com. Order your Kindle or print the copy of Claws and Effect today!

The health benefits of your cat’s castration or stage

The castration or sterilization of your cat is not just overwhelming and reduces unwanted litters. Did you know that it can also have an important impact on health and behavior? Here is a list of just some of the benefits:

Largely reduces the possibility of marking in spray both in men and females. Do not be mistaken about it: intact cats will be sprayed.
The reduced risk of cats that escape outdoors, driven by their impulse to mate.

Outdoor allowed cats will be less likely to wander and fight.
Roaming can cause cats to be lost, blow cars or attack larger predators.
There is a reduced possibility of serious or abscess injuries to fight between men who compete for territory when they are looking for women.
The risk of testicular cancer in men is eliminated and reduces the possibilities of enlarged prostate.
Women will not have to withstand the painful mating process often violent.

Sterilization before the first heat cycle of the female protects it from the development of ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as piometra (uterine infection). It also greatly reduces the possibilities of developing breast cancer.
In females, the relentless stress is eliminated that repeated heat cycles are eliminated in the body.
The reduced risk of contracting infectious diseases (such as IVF and FELV) transmitted when cats bite during fights or when they look away.
The reduced possibilities of aggressive behavior towards family members and other pets at home.
Repeated behavior of tosques/calls from females in heat is eliminated. This will also reduce the probability that intact men hang out of their home.
Your cat’s behavior will not be driven by hormones.

Do you need more information?

If you have questions or concerns about surgery or anesthesia risks, talk to your cat’s veterinarian. Do not wait until the unwanted behavior of having an intact cat begins to show. It is recommended that cats be castrated or sterilized at the age of five. Your veterinarian will offer personalized orientation based on your cat’s health and circumstances.
