Model Posts: 6639 MacMurdo - permanent station of the US, Sector claimed by New Zealand, Antarctica That's hilarious. Nov 14 15 01:01 pm Link Wife showed me that the other day and I tried it on our two cats and guess what? It worked..they freaked out when they saw ithe cucumber after I laid it behind them! Wish I had some video damn it. Nov 15 15 05:17 pm Link I'm wondering why cats react like that. They don't usually like unexpected things behind them, but it looks like more of a fight-or-flight primal reaction. I wonder if the shape and size of a cucumber is similar to some natural cat predator?? Nov 15 15 05:55 pm Link Robb Mann wrote: I used to torment my ex's cat with a rubber snake. Poor thing fell for it every time. If I could get the snake on the floor behind him, he would go airborne EVERY time. I know---I am a bad person. Nov 15 15 07:04 pm Link Robb Mann wrote: Snakes. Nov 15 15 09:36 pm Link I admit it, I laughed. My wife hit me... If I weren't allergic to cats she'd have five or more. Nov 15 15 09:57 pm Link I bought a cucumber tonight just for trying this out. I put it behind my cat while he was eating. He turned around, saw it, sniffed it, pawed it, and walked away. Nov 16 15 08:49 pm Link That video is just hilarious! I think you guys are right. I was thinking the same thing while watching the video; they probably think it's a snake at first. Nov 19 15 03:40 pm Link It's not funny, it's cruel. The cat thinks it's about to be snake food, which is why it responds so primally. Cats under stress have subtle ways of expressing their discomfort, like finding a new place to pee. I would certainly not encourage a cat owner to try this. Nov 22 15 07:08 am Link Robb Mann wrote: My cat sneaks up on me all the time and attacks, then runs... We call it a "cat bat."
