Its just not expected, that's all. Not that there would be any harm caused.

Things that are not expected are surprising, maybe shocking.

For them to also be creepy, they have to also be... digusting, unsettling, off putting, remind you of some kind of tragedy or trauma, or indicate some kind of nefarious intent, something like that.

I don't expect a strange dark figure in my house. It is creepy if I see one ominously standing there. I may find upon inspection that its actually my hat- and coat-rack and totally explainable, but it was still creepy.

So you fear the idea that you cat could understand you.

Its more than just unexpected, it causes fear, it could potentially indicate harm of some kind.

I'm just asking what this fear is.
