I wonder if the engine whine has anything to do with it. I'll try with my car vacuum later and report back, for science!
I think it's more the feeling of the air blast. Mo will let me clean him with a vacuum, but runs away at a puff of air. And compressed air from a tank is just as effective. But I figured most people weren't living in a perpetual remodel and didn't have that in their kitchen.
Big lol. I am living in remodel purgatory. But just turning on the compressor is enough to get both of mine to run and hide.
