Why do cats hate vacuum cleaners so much? We have three loud kids in our household, dishwasher, washing machine, motor bike etc and the cat doesn't worry. Start the vacuum cleaner and that is a whole other story. She will bolt and hide under my doona. Why do cats hate them so much and has anybody ever had or met a cat that doesn't mind vacuum cleaners?
Every cat we had acted the same when we turn the vacuum cleaner on. They are completly terrified. One actually goes crazy of fear, starts miau-ing desperatly, and later, when its queit, she gets scared of everything that moves arround her for hours... When u vacuum, first put the cat out, its all u can do for them.
our cats hate them too. I think its because there louder the washing machines and dishwashers. motor bikes are loud but they are kept out side or in a garage not inside. I also think there scared of them because you move them about and they might think you you will hit them with it or suck them up (lol) or something. No need to worry if your that worried about it put them in a different room or put them out side. All cats are the same!! Our cats hate them our white cat runs and stays on the window sill and the other stays on the sofa!!
We've only had one cat who liked vacuum cleaners lol It was one of those cylinder ones and from being a kitten he would sit on it and ride around the floor as we used it.We had it on a circuit breaker for safety as he loved it so much.
It like nothing they have been around before. Its loud and on the floor moving. It looks mean to them and makes a lot of noise. They see it as a threat and like a monster and they dont want it in their house. Its scary to some animals. Its just unknown to them and the moor they are around it the more weired the strange device gets.
i don't know my cat does the same thing she goes running off . I just deal with it or when i vacuum i put her in another room
