Oh.. it works.
A friend of ours once said that it might be that the cat freaks out- which they will do every time, is because for a split instance the cat thinks it's a lizard or something else that it should naturally jump the hell away from -kinda like me when I turn around and my mother in law -out of nowhere- is just standing there looking like Norman Bates with a wig.. yeah, we don't get along. She thinks I stole and corrupted her princess, and i think she's a ****
but anyway, back to tormenting cats for our amusement
there are YouTube videos of cats where a pet iguana sneaks up on the cat, or was placed behind the cat like a cucumber, and the reaction is identical.
Sorry to hear it.Grumpy cat died today.

Maybe cats' olfactory senses interpret the smell of a cucumber as that of a predator they're instinctively afraid of.
I'd test this on Maddy, but I don't like cucumbers enough to buy one and eat it (any tests would be carried out with the cucumber placed on a clean surface so it wouldn't have to be thrown out).
Mind you, Maddy being Maddy, she's often unimpressed with things cats are supposed to pay attention to. For instance, if I offer to play with her using the laser toy I used to use at the cat shelter I volunteered at, she just looks at me like I'm terminally stupid, with an expression of "Oh, come on, I know that's a fake, toss me something real to play with!" (she prefers McDonalds cheeseburger wrappers).
