If you've already played this prank on your cat, Chan said, you may have inadvertently made them afraid of cucumbers — forever.
"You're terrifying them. They're reacting like this because they're worried that something is going to hurt them. And you're doing this in their house where you want them to be safe and secure."
Chan said once the damage has been done, the only thing you can do is keep them away from cucumbers for the rest of their lives.
Unless you're already a cucumber farmer.
"If your cat has a high exposure rate to cucumbers, it's probably not going to turn around and think it was anything other than a cucumber. We worry about the ones that have never, ever seen a cucumber before."
