cat lady musings

while vacuuming today, i mentally wrote this post.

things ruby is scared of that make sense:
-the vacuum cleaner (she doesn't go under the bed - her normal hiding spot - but instead on a counter…which is quite logical, actually, since the vacuum cleaner comes very close to the bed and not at all near the high up counter)
-really loud thunder and lightening (this scares me, too, ruby, so i understand entirely)

things ruby is scared of that are ridiculous:
-the door bell.  even if it is on tv, she will hide under the bed immediately.  chill out, lady.  and she doesn't listen to me when i yell "it's on tv!"

things ruby is not scared of that i would expect her to be:
-the garbage disposal (she is not fazed, even if she is in the kitchen when it happens)
-the ice maker plopping ice down (please let the record show that sometimes this terrifies me when i am home alone and forgot i turned it on, but ruby is cool with it)
-the dryer when it buzzes super loudly when it is done (ditto - i jump every time and ruby is totally fine)
