Ripsaw, your story reminds me of one that happened when our oldest cat was still a kitten.
I'd gotten a mylar balloon for my birthday or something, and it was weighted down with a washer. The cat would toy with the ribbon and bat at the washer when it bounced up and down. Once when she was wrestling with it, the ribbon got wrapped around her midsection and when she got up to walk away, damn if this big shiny thing wasn't following her....so she started to scurry faster, and the big shiny thing followed her faster, and pretty soon she was tear-assing around the house looking panick-stricken, tail puffed up bigger than my arm, with this balloon chasing her. She finally got free of it but ever since then she's been terrified of balloons. Funniest thing ever.
