I think I get nearly as “scared” as my cat when I do that. There’s something about the cat going into pounce mode on me when I can’t see it that triggers my fight or flight.

LOL i get that, but it's actually heckin' cute when they 'get' you. At least when my cat did it was kind of like "boo! Got you :3".

It's great when you do that and they don't turn up for a while so you put your head back around the corner and it turns out they wandered off.
