Our "Ginger" Persian Garfield, "the great Camellia Hunter", is scared of our new washing machine. Its funny really, as the old machine was way noisier, in fact it could be heard throughout the whole house and then some!....the new machine by comparison is whisper quiet...so why is he scared?
The different noises it does make may be of some concern to him, as he grew up from a kitten in the laundry with the old clunker and as such he may not be in his comfort zone now with the new intruder.....BUT the real scary bit seems to be that he can now see the clothes moving through the door, as the new unit is a front loader...he jumps a mile and cowers if he sees it move!....
One would assume he would get used to it fairly quickly but we've had it a few weeks now and he still doesn't like it!.....and doesn't like going near it when it's on....
