people who think cats are actually afraid of cucumbers

i just think you have to be kinda dumb to believe that. a long time ago there was a trend of putting a cucumber behind a cat while they weren’t paying attention so they’d get really scared when they turned around and jump or run off. it’s the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar object directly behind them, not the cucumber itself. i’ve also seen people say it’s because the cucumber looks like a snake… it’s comically stupid.

i saw a video of someone feeding their cat pickles and someone suggested trying a cucumber to see if they get scared… i see comments about it every now and then and it irritates me every time.
