the cat is petrified but keeping a cool and calm demeanor to try and ward away predators, although he does tilt his head away and retreats his hands when a hair dryer gets too close for comfort
you can see him bracing himself so that he can be ready to attack the new and unknown threat that is causing an extremely uncomfortable reaction for him. little does he know but that terrifying and unknown flow of air is actually there to protect him and keep his coat warm so that he doesn’t get any bad illnesses from having such wet and damp fur. its good for him yet he is oblivious to the way he is being saving 🤔
one day i hope he will realise that albeit uncomfortable and scary for the small feline, that he actually needs the airstream to keep him from getting sick and he can live happily knowing that his owner is not doing this just to be cruel and horrible to an animal he has frown and nurtured upto this point. maybe one day he will be able to anxiously accept the gift of a dry coat of fur, no matter how uncomfortable the journey is to get to that point. ☺️
