this tracks. i got a pair of furry ears from a friend a while back and the first time my cats saw me in them they both got pretty scared, to the point that they fluffed up their tails and did the sideways posture trying to look bigger. that was two very loving and affectionate cats seeing their human wearing ears in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. it would be absolutely terrifying for them to be in this situation and theyd probably freak out just as much. people forget that cats are prey animals too and they have the prey instinct like any small animal, so seeing an evidently large predator they arent familiar with will make them freak out.
lol, made me remember, a friend of mine made a cat mask out of paper in school and decided to wear it at home one day. His - otherwise very very affectionate - cat flipped the fuck out running around the house, hissing and making a scene.
Was kinda funny, but we figured it was a rather stressful occurrence for his car…
Image checks out.
I’d be upset too. This costume is terrifying.
Wtf would happen if that kitten met a big cat or a mtn lion?
I’ve seen videos of house cats meeting big cats with a fence or bars between them and usually the house cat is more aggressive or acts like it doesn’t care.
There’s no way this is a real photo lol
