Unexpected Funny Things That Have Spooked Our Cats: ICanHas Scaredy Cats

So many things in the world have been kiiinda scary lately, so we wanted to take that and try to make something pawsitive out of it. That's why for this week's challenge, we asked you guys to tell us about silly unexpected things that have spooked your cats. It's just that cats can be so ridiculous sometimes. Cats get ever so slightly spooked by nothing at all - mildly startled cats can be mighty silly. Of course, we don't like seeing our cats be scared of anything, but… we do think it's hissterical when a cat gets startled perfectly on beat with a metronome. If you tell us you think that's not funny… we do not believe you. And ICanHas users sure know how to appreciate the hilarity that is spooped cats.

Honestly, we expected your responses to be funny, because what can possibly not be funny about this, but y'all went above and beyond. We loved your answers. Please come back and tell us more.

Oh… failed cats are some of our favorite kinds of cats. We have heard of quite a few of them. We have heard of cats who don't like boxes, we've heard of cats who don't like catnip, we've seen a cat who desperately wants to be cuddled but can only bring himself within an inch of his human before instantly running away, but… we have yet to hear of a cat who is… afraid of boxes. Your guys' cats are special, that's why we love them an extra amount.

Another failed cat to add to the collection. Spooped by her own sneeze smh. We have once seen a dog get spooked by its own fart, that's what this reminded us of. We don't know which one of them is funnier.
