I haven't had many inspirational moments lately so I'm sorry if these posts are not interesting. I honestly don't know why I picked this topic. I just know that one of my friends really likes cats and definitely does not have this phobia.

Something that you may of may not know is that they were a big part of Egyptian history and many people even believe that the Egyptian people worshipped them. Cats were a symbol of grace and poise because they could control vermin and kill snakes such as cobras.
If you read one of my other friend's blog (Maddie, I have mentioned her before in my blog post about Triskaidekaphobia the fear of the number 13), you know that she is a huge cat fan. She loves cats than any other human being I have ever met.
Cats can be a very broad term. Panthers, cheetahs, and tigers are all cats but we don't think of them that way. So if someone says they have ailurophobia, they may be talking about the bigger cats. But I highly doubt that any of us have come across such an animal that is not in a zoo.
A fear of cats can come about different ways. You could have a freak cat accident as a child or just not like cats. Everyone is different.
I personally don't mind cats. I don't particularly like them and they don't particularly like me. On the other hand, my mom is really allergic to cats and can't touch them without having an allergic reaction.
That's about it.
Enjoy.
