People can tell us as much as they want to that cats are boring pets to have. They don't understand. They have no idea just how insanely expressive and hilarious cats can be. In fact, them being mildly bored by life at all times only makes those moments when they do react to something that much funnier. Cats reacting to things is, by far, one of our favorite genres of content on the internet, because it's always special. Whether it's a video of a cat's reaction to seeing puppies for the first time, or a thread of cats' adorable reactions to meeting a baby human, or if it's a hilarious and completely predictable reaction of a cat seeing its owner fake-drowning - it is always hissterical and purrfect.
Every cat owners knows that, every cat owner feels like we do, and you guys are no different in this respect. So, when we asked you to tell us about the silliest and most ridiculous things that have ever spooked your cats, as always, your answers did not disappoint.
"My cat is usually pretty chill and doesn't freak out over much, even going nose to nose with a Great Dane. But the first time my mother visited after I adopted him, he heard snoring for the first time and he completely freaked out!"
"I got a new pair of fluffy houseshoes last weekend. They've been sitting on the kitchen floor for days being sniffed repeatedly by both cats. This evening I put them on. 3 hours into wearing them, my calmest cat freaked out over them. I had to take them off so she would defluff lol."
