Man With Immense Fear Of Cats Gets Forced To Experience The Cuteness Of Kittens
Everybody is afraid of something, but some of us have the strangest fears. Such as cats. Yes, there are people who suffer from ailurophobia and are absolutely terrified of these cuddly bundles of fur. While most people love or at least tolerate cats, it’s hard to imagine someone who can’t even stand the sight of a cat. And if you cat lovers out there don’t believe it’s possible, you should meet Sal Vulcano.
If you make a face like this when you’re near cats, you probably have ailurophobia too
Well, The Impractical Joker Sal definitely has one, otherwise, his colleagues wouldn’t have so much fun throwing cats at him
To punish him for throwing tarantulas at his colleague, the rest of Impractical Jokers decided to chain Sal up and surround him with cats
While we do feel sorry for Sal that he had to endure it, the video is definitely hilarious to watch

Oh come on commenters -yes phobias and panic attacks are very real and dangerous and no-one should be forced to face them unwillingly but these guys AGREED to do it. There's also clearly lots of staff on hand to help out if anything had gone wrong for either the people or the animals. It's a giggle and they clearly had a lot of fun doing it ^_^ I'm not certain I'd be convinced to face my insect fears this way but it's actually a very good and safe environment in which to face a phobia.
Only animal phobia is Earwigs. According to a boook I read age 10 they can get in your ear, eat their way right through your brain and come out the other ear.. As long as something is too big to sneak into body orifices and set up home I am OK with it. apart from wasps

*Sigh* has nobody seen IJ? 1st of all Sal has many fears, but it's no a full on phobia as far as i'm aware, i've never missed an ep and seen them live several times... 2nd they didn't "throw" tarantulas at Q, they gently placed them on him and they were handled by professionals. Impractical Jokers are 100% respectful towards anyone or any creature they come into contact with. If you thought that placing cats or taratulas on them is bad, they made Murr jump out of a plane... one of his biggest fears (The other one is swimming with sharks and they made him do that too!) They go into the punishments knowing that its going to hurt/scare the c**p out of them. That's the whole premise of the show and what makes it avid viewing. Go watch and enjoy but rest assured after getting to know them it's addictive as heck!! :) xxx
Thank you for clearing this up. Was getting annoyed when I read they were throwing tarantulas.

I dunno. Making him do that in a black shirt and black shorts is pretty cruel. If it were me, the cruelest part would be not being able to pet all those adorable little fuzzballs!!
