In today’s society, many people will choose to keep pets around themselves, especially cats. Some time ago, on many online videos of cat pairs, we always see some owners sneak a cucumber behind their cats while they are eating or not paying attention to get, and so on when the cats turn to call. Therefore, there are many people who believe that cats are afraid of cucumbers. So why is the cat afraid of cucumbers? Here let me together with you to analyze it.

We all know that in nature there is a law that “the fittest survive and the weakest are eliminated”. In nature, cats and snakes are natural enemies, snakes are not very friendly in nature, they are very aggressive and toxic, many animals have to give way to them. And cats are also very fierce before they are trained. Therefore, when the cat and the snake fight, the cat’s mental state is in a high state of tension, ready to prepare for the battle against.

So, what does this have to do with cats seeing cucumbers? Why do cats react so violently when they see a cucumber? In fact, a large part of the reason is because of the cat’s visual problems. We all know that the cat’s eyes are different from the human eyes, and there are not as many colors in the cat’s eyes as there are in the human eyes. Cats are dependent on the pupil’s deflation to control the intensity of light received. Cats can distinguish between green and yellow, and some blue according to the intensity of light. However, most of the colors in the cat’s eye are black and white and gray. Because cats can identify very few colors, they have a great reaction to green and yellow colors. To the cat, the color and shape of the cucumber is similar to that of a snake and fears that it will be attacked. Therefore, cats will be afraid when they see a cucumber and react very quickly.

A Canadian feline doctor said that “some cats are very fragile, if you give a cat a sudden shock, it will leave some sequelae”. Just like us humans, we are also scared after being frightened. This is, the cat’s instinctive protection of their own. So, people should not always take cucumbers to scare cats because they are looking for fun. As a cat lover, should give the cat an environment that makes the cat feel right safe and comfortable right, not depressing and afraid to get space.
