Why are cats afraid of balloons?

Answer 1

Not all cats are afraid of ballons. My Siamese cat loves to play with them, especially the kind with heilium. He goes after the string and carries them around in his mouth. It's quite cute. Perhaps your cat is afraid of them because he played with it and it popped. The noise might have scared him, making him afraid of ballons.

Answer 3

I believe my dog in particular, is afraid of balloons because of the seemingly "unnatural" way the balloon moves when affected by the air current in the house. The balloons I have introduced to my dog are usually party balloons, and it does not matter what color the balloons are. Having a shiny and reflective surface, it is also possible he is seeing his reflection, which intensifies his state of confusion.

Until he has more exposure to the ballon, he will continue to be afraid of it. Continual exposure, as well as occassional positive reinforcement for close proximity or physical interaction with the balloon will create a positive experience for the dog and should eventually rid the dog of the fear.

Even so, many cats are afraid of balloons even if it is on the ground. Because balloon is filled with air , any sound that is on the area may either go through the balloon and be distorted, bounce of the balloon in unexpected directions, or be mute.
