Why is my cat afraid of hair tools?

My siamese cat has a very bizarre fear. He is afraid of hair tools. He is afraid of hair dryers (while off), hair straighteners, hair brushes, anything. My other cat has absolutely no fear of these things, but my siamese will run, jump, and generally be afraid if he notices hair tools on the ground. Worse yet, he insists on being near my wife when she does her hair in the mornings. He will occasionally viciously attack the hair tools and then run away. He is very skittish around these things. He's a scaredy cat in general... afraid of strangers in particular. But no other object strikes fear in him like hair tools. Bizarrely, we have cat brushes that look like human brushes, but he doesn't have a problem with these.



What is wrong with my cat? Why is he afraid of hair tools, yet he will go out of his way to attack them?

maybe your wife uses some kind of product on her hair which is in all the hair tools - like a hairspray or a leave in conditioner and the cat hates the smell - cats hate lemons anything citrus smelling - they jump miles from it!! they may have aversions to other smelss too - you know how you can taste hairspray as well as smell it when its sprayed - maybe thats what it is - I may be wrong - it was just a thought!!!!

he most likely had a bad incounter with hair tools sometime in his life or he sees them as something other then hair tools that scares him.

He is just a scared kitty. My male kitty is the exact same way. I wouldn't worry, it is just his personality.

Cat's hate loud music , I guess they dont know what they are. And your cat never have ever been around them and not used to them.
