An interesting cat video.
So I'm watching a TedEX video about hypnotism and saw this video , the reasoning about why the cats respond this way is what makes in interesting.
Maybe the nauturally imprinted/instinctual fear of a snake coming from up from behind that kicks in due to being vulnerable while eating.
Seems likely, I just found this:McPhisto wrote:Maybe the nauturally imprinted/instinctual fear of a snake coming from up from behind that kicks in due to being vulnerable while eating.
Why Are Cats Afraid Of Cucumbers? It May Seem Funny, But Here's Why You Shouldn't Pull This Viral Prank On Your Pet
Well, IFL Science suggests that it could be that the response isn't about the cucumbers specifically, but the fact that the cucumbers were placed nearby without the cats knowing. It could be that cats would be afraid of anything that was able to sneak up on them like that. Meanwhile, Jill Goldman, a certified animal behaviorist, told National Geographic that it's possible that cats' first instinct is to assume that the cucumber is a snake, which can be a deadly predator. And when you think about it, since you wouldn't find a cucumber or similar object on the floor, and since the cat didn't see or hear the cucumber approach, it isn't an unreasonable assumption.
