Geocache Description:

We couldn't find a location that would coincide with this phobia so my husband suggested Lenni park. Very nice little park located in a quiet neighborhood. It is open from 8:00 am to dusk. My track record with coords isn't one I'm proud of and this one is no different, sorry. Feel free to post better coords. There is bad reception, ticks, stickers and mosquitos, sorry again. We also put our new travel bug in, appropriatley called 'Cats rule-Dogs drool". No offense to dogs.

Aclurophobia, Ailurophobia, Elurophobia, Felinophobia, Galeophobia, or Gatophobia

An abnormal and persistent fear of cats which produces an undue anxiety reaction even though sufferers realize their fear is irrational. Sufferers of this phobia may fear not only the scratch or bite of a cat, but also the "evil mystique" of cats as depicted in Halloween folklore and such literary works as Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat."

Fear of cats is termed "ailurophobia," a word derived from the Greek "ailouros" (cat) and "phobos" (fear). Alternate spellings: "Aelurophobia," "elurophobia." The Greek word "ailourous" has also given us the English word "Ailuroidea," a zoological term for a group of carnivorous animals including cats, hyenas and civets.

An alternate name for fear of cats: "Galeophobia."

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
