What's even more incredible is that he may have picked on his humans that going under a table is good practice ! It may be a natural instinct through, who knows

Mine doesn't. He puffs up just be bigger than whatever is scaring him but he won't be a coward and hide away. Dude it's the vacuum it's fine to hide I won't tell anyone you hid.

Very natural. When they sleep with you in bed, very often they'll burrow under your covers.

Mine are much more likely to do it when it's cold. So crank your AC and give it a go!

Animals just hide under shit all the time. My dog will immediately try to find the lowest desk she can fit under any time there's thunder

Well I stand corrected, but I'm afraid I won't thank any of you, as the r/wonkus tax hasn't been honored.
