They seem to really fear the fruit(?)
We feel sorry for the poor animals...
Apparently cats are really scared of cucumbers, a number of people have tested the theory on their unsuspecting pets...
Next time you've done the shopping and are unloading the groceries in the kitchen, we'd recommend keeping the cat away - if you've bought a full cucumber that is.
To be more specific, don't go leaving a cucumber unattended on the floor with your cat nearby.
A number of videos have been circulating online which show that cats jump up in pure fear when a cucumber is placed beside them.

We do question these people for putting their beloved pets in such a situation.
So, yano, don't try this at home okay?
Anyway, what's the reason behind the fear?
The guess is that the cucumber may resemble a snake, which of course can be a deadly predator.
But another guess we have is that the cat feels safe in their home, so a sudden random object being placed next to them is probably quite unnerving...
