this is the sort of thing writers talk about all day

truepenny: Cats here say they are traumatized by the vacuum balrog. TRAUMATIZED.
matociquala: The Dark God Wakuum!
truepenny: Cthulhu's little known but much more dreadful younger brother.
matociquala: JUST ONE TENTACLE BUT IT REALLY SUCKS.

I loled!

Serena isn't even slightly afraid of the vacuum. In fact she stands her ground and swats at it.

That really cheered me up. LJ needs a LIKE button. :)

Heeeheeheehee. Vacuum cleaners EAT CATS! All cats know this!

Except for the late lamented Oliver, who was pretty much stone deaf. You could vacuum between his feet and he didn't care.

Bwahahaha! My dogs are far more traumatized than my cats. Possibly because they cannot escape by jumping onto counters.

The late lamented Dark Cat of Chaos was unperturbed by vacuum cleaners. Not enough so that one could use it on her, but enough so that she merely moved over when it came too close.

ROFL!

My preschooler used to hide with the cats when I vacuumed. Now she joins the dog in barking at it, and trying to bite it, while the cats look on from their heights of superiority. Vacuuming at my house is an ... interesting experience.

This made me laugh so hard. *applause*

I am especially amused that this was posted the day I got my Cthulhu tattoo touched up, as well.

Apropos of tentacles, octopodes are awesome once again.

Vacuum? My cats are afraid of the broom!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

My Moosedog tries to "save" me from the Dark God Wakuum though the power of barking.

Thus proving my adorable cat is truly an evil demon in disguise...

I have to keep the vacuum at ground level. I had it on top of the radiator (it's never on, this apartment is hot enough already without adding more heat to it) And my cat waited until I was out of the room, got onto my bed and made a rather impressive leap and attacked it. Successfully, I might add, since it fell to the floor O.o
