Ailurophobia is different from a dislike of cats, as it implies fear rather than loathing or a desire to harm. Symptoms of ailurophobia, which occur in the presence of a cat, may include:

Intense fear
Sweating
Heart palpitations
Nausea
Dry mouth
Tightness in the throat or chest
An ailurophobe may also have negative beliefs about cats, viewing them as sadistic or sneaky. In extreme cases, the phobic individual will not even be able to leave the house for fear of encountering a cat, and even seeing a cat on television or in movie may induce anxiety symptoms.
