Recently, users on popular social network Reddit began posting a collection of videos displaying their cats reactions after discovering a cucumber laying behind them. These videos are still being posted every day.
But why are they so afraid? Sverre Sjölander, zoologist and professor Emeritus at the University of Linköping, has a theory:
“The cat comes from North Africa and, therefore, like dogs, has an innate fear of snakes,” he told a local paper.
One reason that cats are so afraid may thus be that they mistaken the cucumber for a snake. Would you like someone to put a snake behind you when you were eating?
No, didn’t think so.
Be nice to your animals, and stop this nonsense!
