Why do cats get scared easily?

Answer 1

Cat's are afriad of: loose dogs, strange cats, loud noises or bangs, big animals and unsafeness, like a big open space with no place to hide or tree to climb into. Some cats can be afriad of strange things, such as a microwave, the television, or rain.

Dealing with a cat's fear isn't easy, you have to link the fear with things it likes, such as treats, toys, food and catnip.

Cats are often afraid of the vacuum, long electric cords (like snakes) and water. Although one cat who had a normal dislike of water, would chase a little running stream of water from the hose, trying to catch it and getting all wet in the process!

Answer 2

cats do not get scared easily even though it seems that way as they jump with the slightest sound. cats have super sensitive ears which can pick up the slightest sound and they are very alert. by nature, cats want to make sure that they are not being stalked by a potential predator as they are stalking their own prey. that is why cats jerk when they hear almost any sound.

Answer 3

Cats can get scared easily due to their natural instincts for survival. They have keen senses that make them highly alert to potential dangers in their environment. Loud noises, sudden movements, unfamiliar people or animals, or changes in their surroundings can trigger their fear response.

Answer 4

because they were frighted or startled................ or they are scardy cats. LOL!
