Oh dear!
The only Velcro I use much is (or was) Daisy’s harness, unfortunately - makes getting her used to it a far trickier prospect.

You need to make a video about that. None of my cats have ever attacked the vacuum cleaner. Once Byron swatted the hair dryer right out of my hand when I first took him in. I was giving him a bath and I wanted to dry him. After I never tried to dry his hair again that way.
I don’t consider any of my cat’s fears like that to be irrational, certainly not the vacuum cleaner cause that’s a loud scary thing. I always wonder about cats who let themselves be vacuumed. I wish I had a cat like that. My Tess was like that, so gentle and calm, she did not mind being bathed or dried with the hairdryer. The only thing she was afraid of was thunder.
Mingo isn't terrified of the vacuum either, but he doesn't attack it. He likes to sit in his cat tree and look down on it. He just watches warily.
OMG.. rain tapping at the windows and sound from fireworks across the river on the Esplanade a few hours later both caused her to stick to me like glue. Feliway helped tremendously last night!

Tinfoil - Sausage is terrified of it. All I need to do to get him out of the kitchen is to wave a piece 
Miss Lola, is 11 and is a velcro cat who wants and needs attention as often as you are willing to provide it, with one rather odd exception. Every morning she demands water from the bathtub faucet but she absolutely will not drink if I am present. I have to leave the room so she can have her private drink and then remember to go back once she is done and turn the water off.
I just went onto the sun porch to check on kitty. There she was intently watching something on the window sill next to her bed....A Beetle! I whacked it and still she refused to get in the bed,but kept looking at the spot where it was. This is the cat I am planning to take outside for the first time soon? 
Toffee used to be semi-feral, so he's still scared of things that often seem silly to me, such as sudden noises made by the wind, broomsticks/sweepers and the sound of people clapping - even on the television!
Honey Bun is so lovable but she HATES Mariah Carey’s high singing, especially Dream Lover.
That is because it hurts her ears, cats are sensitive to high pitched noises and can even hear them an octive higher than dogs.
Geoffrey is terribly frightened of Bananas and Cucumbers!! Of course, he is afraid of most things......
My current cat is only scared of the vacuum cleaner.
My previous cat was scared of the vacuum and heavy storms with thunder. She'd hide whenever it stormed or thundered although she had always been an indoor cat since she was about 6 months old.
