we're trying not to rush him into using it because he has a such huge fear of machine noises. he even hates the dishwasher. the litter robot is great but does make an audible noise when it runs, which he Does Not Like (he is watching it in this picture)

Our dog is like that, including the fridge and especially the a/c

my former stray is like this too! anytime she hears a particularly noisy vehicle outside (truck, street sweeper) she gets pissed and stances up by the window to look at it and swishes her tail 😭 it’s very cute but also a bummer if you think too hard abt them being on the street

If my porcelain throne did loop de loops every time I got off it, I too would stare in suspicion.

The thing is he looks like one of those old Hollywood character actors who was in EVERYTHING. "Yeah, that's Everard Stanhope, he was the 9th juror in 12 Angry Men and one of the townspeople in Bad Day At Black Rock and..."

I had a cat who was absolutely terrified of the ceiling fan. One look at how panicked she got meant I never used it around her again.

I getcha, kitty. I hear machine noises that some people don't hear at all, like light bulbs. And the ticking clock had to be exiled to the downstairs bathroom because it was Edgar Allen Poe'ing me.

We realized just how much we’d become Cat People when we moved to an apartment that had a dishwasher (hallelujah!) twenty years ago and ended up only using it once because it freaked the fuck out of the best cat in the world

Yeah, Max had an exceptionally dramatic reaction to it. We ran it once, and then started it again another time with the same result, and gave up. When we moved to our house he was ok with the one here, so it was just the frequency he picked up with that other one.
