There are steps you can take to overcome a fear of cats
Many people have fears of certain animals, such as dogs or snakes. A fear of cats, also known as ailurophobia, is slightly less common but can be just as debilitating. These kinds of fears often become worse over time, unless treated, because each anxiety-producing event can condition a person to feel even more fear the next time. The anxiety, therefore, builds on itself.
A fear of cats poses a particular problem because cats are popular pets and are usually abundant in cities, making them difficult to completely avoid. You can take several steps to help alleviate this fear and live a more peaceful, less anxious life.
Instructions
1. View photos of cats. Make sure you are in a peaceful setting, one that makes you feel secure, when you do this. Put on soft music and do whatever else makes you feel most relaxed. You can start with one photo at a time.
