He runs and hides under a chair when he sees a bird. Loud noises make him hide also. I think that the reason for this is because he was a rescued feral kitten and he was in poor shape when I got him. He may have been in danger or abused somewhat living on the streets as he was. I think that answering the questions posed by SweetBeast may shed some light on the situation.
My cat is the same exact way and someone has always mentioned that she was hurt in the years before I got her. This always makes me sad and I try to let her behave in how she wants to because when I think about what could have happened to her my eyes usually tear up and I try to cuddle and hug her right away.
