I wonder why, they're afraid of the cucumber? I know one thing, my cat is afraid of. My electric shaver. I was sitting, on the couch one day, and my cat was laying next to me. As soon as I turned on the Razor, she sat right up. I started shaving, and every so often, I would wave the razor near her. She took her paw, and wacked the razor 5 or 6 six times, before I had a chance to move it away.She is Fast.
