Willow is just a bundle of fears. She is terrified if I walk too quickly thru the house, if I standing in the same room as her while she eats, if I offer her a treat or food any time except at her usual eating times, if I hold out my hand to to her. Of course, she is terrified of the broom and vacuum but she is also afraid of any new items brought into the house.

Lola is afraid to have me in the bathroom when she drinks from the bathtub faucet (she calls me in to turn the water on but will not drink till I leave) , and is also afraid of the vacuum and the dustmop.

Toffee was semi feral when he was rescued so he’s very jumpy about a lot of things we would find weird! He has a very strong reaction to broomsticks, so we reckon he must have been hit with one or otherwise unpleasantly encountered one before his rescue.

He’s also been known to jump at the rustling of newspapers and the wind blowing!
