F is for Felinophobia
Friday, April 16th, 2010 by PriceFelinophobia is:
A morbid fear of cats.
Maybe I’m trying to feel better about myself and my bravery, because I keep seeming to pick things that I am not scared of at all.
I did a little research online about this grave disease. Please read this next excerpt, taken from catchannel.com:
On the second day of Blue’s presence, we were quietly working at our desks when we heard a horrific scream from the office down the hall. I leaped from my chair and ran to see what was wrong. I found Blue innocently standing in the doorway looking at the office’s occupant, Jane (not her real name), who was pale and recoiled in her chair, staring in horror at Blue.
I picked Blue up and took him back to my office and closed the door. It was obvious that he needed to stay away from Jane, whose behavior had me completely baffled.
The next day, the bad news came. Blue had to go back to the shelter. Jane had told our boss that she could not work with a cat in the office, and she would quit if the cat didn’t go.
Those of us who had become attached to Blue in this short time were furious at Jane. Her seemingly irrational fear of cats could cost Blue his freedom. Who knew what would happen to Blue when he went back to the shelter? Most of us stopped talking to Jane; she became the office pariah.
Had we understood the crippling condition of felinophobia – a profound fear of cats – perhaps we could have shown Jane more compassion. Jane was as much a victim of this condition as Blue.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
In all seriousness, I do not support making fun of those with fears/issues/diseases. But couldn’t this be a bit more specific? Scared of lions or tigers perhaps? Even scared of Thundercats. Something other that cute little kitties.
Whatever.
If you do suffer from this *COUGH* disease, here are some of my favorite horror movies which feature other types of animals that you might enjoy:
Piranha
Arachnophobia
Black Sheep
