Cats have very sharp claws and, unless tamed, will use them to defend territory - in domestic situations, this means "anything the cat has marked".

Further, there's a great deal of unfavorable mythology surrounding cats, such as the supernatural ability to "steal breath" from babies. cause bad luck. or summon storms with their tails.

Generally, housecats are harmless to humans, but the combination of superstition and aggressive behavior may cause irrational fear of them.
