Ailurophobia

I cannot stand to have cats around me. With their soft purring and coat so furry, to most persons, they are warm and cuddly. However, their presence installs a fear. I don’t know exactly what I have here. Those creatures also have sharp teeth and claws. An early encounter may be the underlying cause. November 3, 2012 For “What’s Your Fear” contest.

I know a man with fear of cats I just cannot imagine that. Sorry if you really are afraid of cats. You're truly missing out on a wonderful relationship. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

Actually, I don't have a fear of cats. I've had several of them during my lifetime although I don't have one right now. Not everything I write about is factual.
