Mine runs across the house from wherever she was sleeping and meows like crazy anytime me or my wife sneezes. Almost like she's making sure we are okay lol

My one cat puts her face into my face to figure out what happened. My orange boy sprints away in terror

My cat is somewhere between personally offended, frightened, and disgusted when I sneeze, relative to their distance from me.

In the same room? “Why, I never!”

Within arm’s distance? “Are you threatening me?”

On top of me? stiffened body and side-eyed glare

Our cat scolds us for sneezing or putting away silverware. It visibly angers her.

I am autistic and do the same. Just be quiet my hearing is sensitive ffs. Especially the silverware is BAD.

Though I’m not able to stifle my sneezes, I will try to be quieter when putting away the silverware!

Well my one cat loves loud noises. She runs to the window to search for the source of the sound with emergency vehicles, fireworks etc

We don’t have any sneeze concerned cats, but our girl Sausage can’t stand when people cry. She’ll run up at the sound and forcibly put her body and head all over your face. We call her the therapy cat.

Hard to plan but easy to fake

u/Fornicatinzebra Sep 15 '22

Surprisingly she can tell when I'm faking. My sneezes are ridiculously loud so probably my poor acting abilities

I've had a couple cats that did that too! I wonder what concerns them about it so much.
