5+ cats who take the name scaredy cat literally

Cats have long had the reputation of being easily spooked, hence the term "scaredy cat." That term has often been used to label young kids who are reluctant to do something they probably shouldn't be doing. In reality, most cats are cool and chill, but like people who are afraid of spiders or heights, many felines have that one thing that scares the meows out of them.
Check out the following videos and the cats in them who react to someone or something that freak them out. Does your cat get scared of anything, and if so, does she behave like these cats? Watch these clips and find out.

3. It's Jurassic Meow, Felines vs. Velociraptors!
At the start of this video, we can hardly blame little Maya the cat for flipping out at this weird dinosaur robot that just showed up in her home.

4. Don't tell this cat that unicorns are trendy.
Unicorns might be all the rage right now, especially with young girls, but this cat couldn't care less. All he knows is that there is some weird stuffed animal with overly large eyes staring at him and he doesn't like it. Check out this cat's reaction to the unicorn in the following video.
5. This cat was not expecting that sweet rabbit ninja move.
