À propos de cet audio

The "Cats vs. Cucumbers" viral trend works because of the Startle Reflex. In this episode, we explain that to a cat's peripheral vision, a green, elongated object placed silently behind them mimics a Snake—their evolutionary predator.

We cover:

The "Snake Avoidance" Instinct: Why their brain triggers a vertical leap before they even identify the object.
The "Safe Zone" Violation: Why doing this while they eat causes long-term food anxiety.
The Stress Cost: How repeated pranks damage the human-animal bond.
Better Play: How to trigger their hunting instinct without traumatizing them.

It's not funny; it's a fight-or-flight response.
