Poor kitty looks scared to death.

Why do all cats have the same voice? It's going to be impossible to determine which one is calling you on the phone when they evolve.

What is the person carrying around that the cat hates so much

My parents had a cat, when I was growing up, that was deathly afraid of a blue shammie-like material. We called it devil material because she would freak out if it was brought close to her. It didn't smell strange to me...and AFAIK it was new when we bought it so it shouldn't have smelled like another animal that wasn't in the house. And she was afraid of it for months and years through many washings. And was afraid of materials like it, especially if they were blue. Was a weird....no one had any guesses as to why she was like that and we had her for all of her life minus a few weeks in the beginning when she was born to a half-tamed stray some neighbors of my grandma had. She lived to be almost 18 years old and never dropped these weird quirks, I just assumed they were because she was part siamese...they are known for being amped up and weird.
