Bliss and Ria are terrified and I mean terrified of the hoover. Don't see Bliss for several hours after it's been out Porsha will actually try and confront and 'attack' it she isn't frightened in the least. Clooney doesn't even stir from his slumber, you just hoover round him

Cleo just sleeps through it even to the point of vacing round her. never fussed, Oscar didn't like it as a kitten but got used to it to the point of staying in the room as long as it stayed away.

Re: Cats and the hoover?


Every cat I've had is/was scared of the hoover. One cat Pinky hated the hoover & usually fled the room. Until she had kittens. then one day I saw her very bravely sitting in front of her kittens protecting them from the "monster"...the sweet girl...her kittens came before her fear.

Yes she was a good Mum, chased a neighbour's dog out of the house once as well plus had a fight with a neighbour's cat all because of her babies.

All mine go mental, even the babies who have been used to it since birth. When they got to about 6 weeks they just got scared of it all of a sudden!

Misty hates the vacuum, but all the others seem to be okay.
