Does anybody else's cat do this?
I have a 1 hear old cat. He used to love playing with the broom while we swept when he was a kitten. But now as a fully grown cat he absolotly loaths it. The broom, dust mop, wet mop, the vacumes.
Like to the point that he will climb you very agressivly to get away from it using his whole claws. And he hisses so strongly at it like loud very vocal hisses using his whole throat open mouth teeth on showing hissing and will bang himself into stuff just to get away. Like that much hate/ fear.
And we have absolotly 0 idea why either. We live with my in-laws at the moment while we wait for a house where im from stats away. There plenty of times he is alone without us and just my inlaws and just stright up alone sometimes. I dont know if somthing happened to make him hate them so much or if he just kinda started to hate them. Whenever we vacumed he wasnt in the room. Whenever we swept of mopped he wasnt in the room. The only person that has done those things with him around is my MIL but she can be a bit agressive cuz she wasnt to thrilled about an animal being in her hosue in the first place. But I also dont see her doing anything to him that would hurt him seriously enough to have trauma nor have we ever seen her do much more then lightly smack him away if hes doing somthing he know he aint suposed to be doing like digging in her plants that are inside or standing on the kitchen table. Shes even pet him and let him lay in her lap before and baby talked him and if she had done anything hed be scared of her not the cleaning tools.
Hes a pretty good boy this is just the one quirk he has thats we just cant figure out for the life of us. Does anyone else's cat do or has done this?
