I'm so glad you were honest Tamron. I'm scared of cats and other animals. It's hard to deal with it; especially with people who don't understand. This made me feel hopeful! ❤

[@robtru84]

I have always had a fear of cats. I relate to Tamron and Latoya we hate cats

[@Kingofthenet2]

As someone who doesn’t like cats and dogs I can relate. I don’t like stepping outside my house as much because of it

[@chellycat14]

I feel so sorry for y'all and hope you can work through your fears some day to see cats and dogs for the lovely, most amazing creatures that they are. They bring so much joy and love and support to our lives. Anyone who can't see this is seriously missing out.

[@southerngirlinthecity]

I understand I was afraid of dogs and I overcame it. Once you are tired of your fear controlling your life you will overcome it.

TAMRON!!! PlLEASE CREATE YOUR OWN CLOTHING LINE!!!! You be SHARP girl!!! 🤩🔥😍

[@Blackscubaqueen101]

Pretty please...

Absolutely!

She's the best dressed in the game. She doesnt miss

[@TripleBlsdNHlyFvrd]

Tamron you did great! I'm proud of you.... Keep in mind just like animals, humans are unpredictable too, if not more.

[@christeec1918]

Tamron is gorgeous!

[@chinbeats6551]

Yooo she was so scared 😭😭 That was like 80s tv cringey lol

[@zalexie_]

not cringy

[@candacedawn357]

I'm going to share this with my mom because she fears cats. I sort of have a fear, too, because I didn't grow up with them. It's more so the fear of the unknown. However, I would like to adopt a kitten or two in the future so I've been watching videos on YT about cats. (:

[@animalleague]

Candace - When you are ready to adopt, please let us know. We'll be happy to help you find a new best friend.

[@dorrianhorsey9242]

Poor Tamron. That was hard to watch because she was genuinely uncomfortable. Cats are definitely less predictable than dogs. God bless her for trying to face that fear.

[@HaunaMyKiki]

Cats _aren't_ less predictable than dogs. The warning signs between the two species are just different. Cats give _plenty_ of warning before they become physically defensive. Learn about their body posture, and then reading a cat becomes quite easy!

[@robtru84]

​@@HaunaMyKiki I hate cats always have always will. I wish God never created this animals. What in the hell was God thinking

[@EricaGamet]

I am deathly afraid of frogs and toads, so I can totally relate. You know it's irrational (that's what a phobia is), but it doesn't mean it's not real and doesn't cause you real stress. I hope someday, Tamron, you can get to know a sweet cat that you like. And some cats don't want to be held, so maybe Mr. Orange from the back deck just wants in but would be perfectly fine with you ignoring him! Good luck!

[@latariabrown]

I just over my fear yesterday!!!!! I actually held a cat!!!

[@robtru84]

Why I have suffered with this and will continue to suffer until I die

[@Blackscubaqueen101]

Love the dress Tamron!

[@DianC-yn4ei]

Tamron, I thought I was the only one. I could not even be on the other side of this table. They are downright SCARY AND UNPREDICTABLE.

[@geisalagordon9966]

Tamron, you did GREAT!

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

Jackson Galaxy is also amazing. He has a lot of good wisdom to share. Also it is inhumane to declaw cats. It is like taking their knuckles off.

[@apraise]

Wow. Ive struggled with my cat phobia for 23 years smh

[@robtru84]

I still struggle with that

[@Kingofthenet2]

I developed mine as a teen and I’m still struggling

Cat eyes are some of the most beautiful things to exist. Sad that you can't see the beauty.

Why Tamron? I have had this fear since childhood and will die with this

You look great, Tamron!

I feel your PAIN. I'M THE SAME WAY...I HATE CATS, BUT LOVE DOGS.

We have 11 cats and 5 dogs

[@marblessed9597]

Love the outfit! I do NOT do cats either!!!

[@canuck81]

In all fairness I love cats but picking up a cat I don't know is always something to be cautious of. They can scratch after all. My sister's cat knows me well but if I try to hold him he'll scratch the hell out of me.

[@maggiewills1776]

You’re not alone, Tamron. I don’t like cats. I don’t trust them.

[@robtru84]

Same, I don’t even like them 5 feet away from me

[@tomunking8782]

Imagine being a 250 pound black man who is afraid of cats. They make my flesh crawl. ,I dont hate them but I hate how uncomfortable they make me feel. I don't know where this phobia came from but I've had it since childhood and Its so embarrassing.

[@geisalagordon9966]

I don't like cats anymore, for years now. Not sure when that happened. I LOVE dogs as well.

[@chellycat14]

Pathetic.

Cats are generally more aggressive sometimes is calm and snuggly

[@arunalall4881]

What's up with all the cat haters in the comments? Seriously, all of you are so sad. :(

[@thehapagirl92]

How can you fear cats? I get fearing huge ass dogs but cats? I’m a cat person. I’m subscribed to more cat channels than human channels lol. I mean I fear butterflies so I guess cats can be scary

[@lrowe272]

I am also a dog person.

[@janicelewis1681]

Don’t say that cause Chellycat14 will get you😂

[@brandonflorida1092]

It's absurd to have a cat phobic try to pick up a cat as the first lesson. The first lesson might be letting the cat smell your hand or something much less ambitious.

[@salinachaaten]

Not true

[@janicelewis1681]

I don’t like cats at all. I’m also scared of them and I do not go near them at all. If someone has one I kind of dodge them cause I think they are evil and yes very unpredictable

[@HaunaMyKiki]

You just have to know their language. Cats aren't unpredicatable at all. They just have a highly sensitive nervous system so they get overstimulated if they're not pet the correct way. They give you _plenty_ of warning with their posture and body movements long before they start swatting though. So long as you are intuitive of their warning signs and know when they need to take a break, your interactions with them should all be pleasant ones.

[@chellycat14]

@Janice Lewis the only evil is you for thinking they are evil.

@@HaunaMyKiki thanks for replying and telling me a little something in a sensible way.

May I ask why? I'm not afraid of cats. I come in contact with 1 every Monday. This cat shows it's teeth and purrs at me. I'm there to do my job. The cat owner said I never seen her do this before.

And btw don't even title this Tamron conquers her fears... bs! She didn't even really make an effort. Coward!

[@latariabrown]

Wow. You are really mean. You don’t understand the level of anxiety that goes on when you were trying to conquer a fear like this. It takes time and patience, and she’s in the front of an audience.

[@julief634]

@@latariabrown No, I am looking at this through a rational perspective, it's not mean to be honest. Look at it this way, how many people use fear to abuse others? How many use fear to train dogs? How many use fear to abuse animals, domesticated pets? When we conquer the fear, we conquer the need to defend ourselves by hurting another. I am not saying that Tamorn is abusing any animal, I am saying that she has a responsibility since she's on national television to use her platform to show courage, not fear. Yes it takes patience, off camera preferable. She should've not gone on here to pick up a domesticated cat (not from the wild so silly to fear it) in front of the world to then show fear of a BLACK cat, ironically, which most religious people fear and abuse or throw away and dump just because they demonize a black cat. She has a responsibility that if she knew this would fail on tv, she should've tried this several times off camera and then if she starts to conquer the fear or feel less fearful she can then have the tape rolling for broadcasting. How many animals are dumped or abused because of this FEAR. it's no excuse! I am an animal activist and I see this happening all the time. I use to be a professional dancer in a dance company and was given an albino snake to dance with on stage, I had terrible fear of snakes but how did i get over it? by dancing with the snake many times in rehearsals and not letting my fear take over. it's mind over matter, anyone can apply it if they tried. So it's not mean to be honest, what is mean is to enable cowards!

[@chellycat14]

@Julie F why don't you imagine what you're afraid of and then try to conquer that fear in front of an audience on live television. Talk about lacking empathy.

[@julief634]

@@chellycat14 If it's anyone who lacks empathy it's the person being afraid of another living being. Why be afraid? Stupid religious people, that's why. Nothing about empathy there.
