Hi there, I recently purchased a few electric fly swatters to help with the overwhelming fly problem in our house. My two cats were a little afraid of it at first, but they seemed to get used to it over a few days. Recently, however, one of them has developed this reaction every time I even GRAB the fly swatter where she starts meowing very softly like she is alerting me of something. At first her eyes got pretty big as well, but now she just mewls stressfully. She doesn't run away or anything, though.
My question is whether the sound of the fly swatter could be hurting her ears. If she is afraid of it, I'm hoping I can get her used to it like my other cat. But if it is truly painful/uncomfortable for her, I'll have to figure out something else to get rid of the flies. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
