Sometimes the behavior of our pets baffles us.
This is especially true of the wary attitude towards things that are absolutely ordinary for us.
And if you have noticed how your pets recoil in horror from cucumbers or bananas, it is time to find out why this happens.
Why are cats afraid of cucumbers
In fact, if you show a cucumber or a banana to a cat, it is unlikely to be afraid of it.
It's all about the element of surprise, when a large vegetable or fruit suddenly appears in front of or behind the animal.
In such cases, instinct kicks in, causing the cat to jump to the side.
Feline experts suggest that the cat's reaction is influenced by the shape of a cucumber or banana, which vaguely resembles a snake. And snakes, as you know, are natural enemies of cats.
In addition, the place where the cat eats is considered safe by the cat. Therefore, when an unexpected object appears near it during the meal, it also leads to stress.
