Cucumbers could easily be triggering feline responses to snakes, which are most certainly a danger to them.

    Yeah, that's a perfect example of mind being wrong because of faulty pattern recognition triggering unconscious responce.

    Personal anecdote: I've experienced uncanny valley once with perfectly human human, just some guy that had unfortunate experience of being meat crayon on a motrocycle some time in the recent past, i was absolutely terrified until he came really close and I understood what exactly was wrong.
