My Cat + Black Cords = Fear

For some odd reason, my cat PJ is terrified of black cords. She's extremely skittish around the vaccuum cleaner hose and today, she was scared of a blck iron cord. She cautiously went up to it and sniffed at it, then backed away. She tapped it a bit with her paw and backed even further away.

My mom and I were watching this and as soon as PJ had moved closer to the cord again, she put her foot on the cord and shook it, causing PJ to jump 3 feet into the air backwards! My mom started to roll up the cord so it wouldn't scare PJ anymore and I went over to pick up my cat who was now shaking like a leaf. I got her in my arms, but as soon as she saw the cord again she squirmed and struggled and scratched my arm up good.

I don't think she'll be going down that hallway again any time soon.

I'm thinking she might've had a bad encounter with a garter snake.

Poor Kitty.
