Article

quote:

In the vast majority of the videos, cat owners are seen sneaking up behind their pets as they’re facing the other way – mostly eating – and placing the green, elongated vegetable behind them. As the cat turns around and spots the unexpected item, it loses its mind, leaps into the air, and gets away from it as fast as it can. In some videos, the cats then engage in a stare down with the cucumber, waiting in vain for it to make its first move.


the article has multiple videos embedded that shows the reactions

my guess is that a cucumber resembles a snake to cats and their evolutionary-bred reaction is to go hyper defense

In the melon family actually.

If you put cantaloupes next to cucumbers a bit of the flavor will be present in each.

i believe they think the cucumber is a large turd deposited by something large enough that they don't want to meet it, so they run.

I tried it with both of my cats. It didn't scare them AT ALL. They just calmly went and inspected it, and then dismissed it. I don't even like cucumbers, and I bought one specifically to scare the frick out of my cats. What the hell.
