25 Silly Pics Of Startled Cats Getting Spooked By The Most Hissterical Things

One thing that you learn over your time as a cat owner is that cats… react to things in ways that you would not expect. When some ameowzing big thing happens, like the aurora borealis last week… our cats don't care about the northern lights. But when someone rings the doorbell unexpectedly or when someone sneezes or something or when someone does anything at all that our cats don't see coming from a mile away, they get spooked as if they've seen a ghost.

And we learn to love the inconsistency. We love that cats get startled by literally nothing. We love that cats have such silly reactions to such silly things. It's part of what makes being a cat owner so fascinating. We can watch these little dudes and dudettes do absolutely nothing for hours and hours and have the time of our lives.

"I gave a home to a friendly stray cat, but she took some time... adjusting... to the good life. Here's Mio when I first got her."

"Here's some descriptions I've already gotten of Mio:
'She always looks so concerned. It's like she's a suburban white woman watching the news and bad things are happening somewhere completely unrelated to her.'
'Her face always looks like she's in a room with two other people who are arguing with each other, and she's just standing there silently and anxiously because she doesn't know what to do or say.'
'She looks like the pleading eyes emoji.'"
