That sudden freeze and puff-up sounds exactly like my ferret’s “oh no” mode when the vacuum comes out. It’s like they remember it’s a monster no matter how chill they’ve been before. What helped me was giving treats right after the vacuum starts, but from a distance where it’s just a background noise, not a looming threat. Over time, I moved closer very slowly, always rewarding calm behavior. Also, having a cozy hideout nearby where Milo can retreat might help him feel safer during the noise. It’s tough seeing them so spooked, but patience and positive associations usually pay off.
