On: Elephants are scared around bees

[t-3]

My cat has had close calls with various mammals but is never afraid of them.

Buzzed by a bumblebee or fly? He won't go outside the rest of the day.

Screeched at by flocking birds? Hiding under the table, inside.

He likes to eat ants, though.

Ours used to beg to go out so he could watch the carpenter bees every spring.

Then, one year, he put his paw over one that landed near him and was so alarmed by the buzzing fit that he still hasn't gotten over it.

They have a sour/lemony taste. Maybe he likes that. Don't ask me how I know.
