Ailurophobia

Ailurophobia- fear of cats. Yes the normal looking, harmless animal and a pet for many. Lovable creatures but not to all. Yes they also have haters. These little animals are what some people afraid of. The mouse catching skillful cat scares the hell out of them.
Human mind is one complex body. It protects the human it resides in, by triggering defense mechanisms. One such is triggered at the sight of CAT. may be because they had a memory of past experience with cat or they think its dangerous for them or its any physical feature of the cat they cant look at specifically. For those people, the sight of cat makes their nerves crack: they sweat, stammer, anxiety is up, scared, breathless, frightened and what not. They may even try to keep their mind alert and not react when cats around but they just cant help the panic attack. Mind doesn’t accept what once it has rejected. So, the cats need a bit suffering these attacks for life!

She was scared of cat EYES. One fine look to the cats face, tears her down the spine. The cold eyes, the glassy look in them and the thin iris works a spear to scare her deep. She just cannot look into them. The witty movements of the cats made her brain hallucinate every now and then. Her mind is so frightenend that it replicates the moving objects to appear like that of a cat. Its like a World War III in her freaking mind and bloody cats win everytime. Cats spooked her! But she even doesn’t know what had made her so frightful from these creatures. Childhood didn’t have any such cat related event: the used to live in the balcony, they were fed milk daily. Then what? may be its just the mind triggering response against them and nothing else. She was almost near to bringing that fear of cats to ground until she decided to give up and answer *I AM ALLERGIC* as an escape for not wanting to deal with unhappy cat encounter events.
