Experts Want People to Stop Scaring Their Cats with Cucumbers

There’s a weird trend online where people are scaring their cats with CUCUMBERS. You put one on the floor behind your cat while they’re eating, and they freak out when they see it. Someone posted a montage last week, and it has over two million views.
But experts are telling people to STOP, because cats associate their food with safety, so surprising them while they’re eating can mess with their heads. “National Geographic” just did an article about it.
As for why they’re scared of cucumbers, it might be because they resemble snakes . . . but it’s probably that they don’t like seeing random stuff on the floor that you put there just to mess with them.
