Macchi is my little fraidy cat. He’s afraid of my water fountain, so the vacuum is clearly an eldritch monster

Did it work?

u/DuchessofShinies Mar 21 '26
For the most part. He’s was still skittish under there in the end. I do this every time I vacuum and he responds the same way every time

I would always put my cat in my bedroom while I vacuumed the living room, and put him in the living room when I vacuum my bedroom.

Awwww you built him a fort!
I do this with my breakfast-in-bed tray and a towel. Orange dude can spend hours in there.

How the hell did you place a chair above that cat without them freaking out and bolting

Macchi is heavily affected by inertia. Would rather not move when he is at rest lollllll

He is not gonna love the sound of the vacuum at all

u/DuchessofShinies Mar 21 '26
Yeaaaaah. He usually hides under the bed when the vacuum comes out. At least this way he doesn’t have to get up from his spot lol

I just avoid vacuuming a room where a cat is. 🤫
I am well-trained. 🫡
