First of all, we would like to remind you that you should definitely not try this at home with your own cat. Because exposing your cat to the sound of the comb isn’t just scary various irreversible conditions may bring.

Why do cats react so much to a comb? Let’s see how dangerous this sound is for them.

Just as we gag when we smell spoiled food or something disturbing, this movement in cats is thought to be caused by certain sounds they hear.

The hearing ability of these creatures is quite sensitive. While we hear nothing in a very quiet environment they can hear many sounds. They can also discover many things that we do not see.

Unfortunately, our furry friends can’t express what they feel because they can’t talk, but thanks to cat owners, It is possible to come to some conclusions.

On the other hand, the sound range that humans can hear is 20 to 20,000 hertz, while cats are between 45 and 60,000 hertz.

In other words, cats are very sensitive to high-pitched sounds, and although research on this subject is insufficient, they can suffer from gagging and vomiting behavior. It is estimated that this is the reason for this disturbing sound they are exposed to.

In fact, the cat’s gagging upon hearing this sound is used to expel unwanted food or objects from the body in an emergency. a reflexive action and an automatic response People also think so. In other words, cats may react the same way to a disturbing noise as they do to an unusual meal.

Some unconscious cat owners make sounds with a coin or their fingers from the comb teeth just because it looks funny, but this sound can even cause seizures in cats.

This seizure, which cats are likely to experience, is called FARS and is very similar to our audiogenic epilepsy. FARS, also called Tom and Jerry syndrome, occurs in cats like moving the teeth of a comb. It is a form of epilepsy that is thought to be caused by high-pitched sounds.

It is currently unclear how this condition occurs in cats, but it is common in some breeds. There may be a genetic component is being considered.

Again, outside the comb, crumpled aluminum foil paper, hammering nails, coin or key sound, cracking or tapping on glass are other sounds that bother cats and tend to trigger FARS responses.

In summary; It is very dangerous to expose our furry friends to the sounds of combs and other objects that can disturb them, and these sounds can trigger FARS attacks, as well as gagging and vomiting.

For the sake of a few minutes of entertainment, expecting the recorded videos to go viral, or “Nothing happens once” Let’s not act with this thought and keep our cats away from combs.
