Caitlin Clark stunned the Women’s Leadership Summit crowd when she admitted that cats are her biggest fear

Caitlin Clark is in Florida this week to play in the LPGA Tour’s The ANNIKA Driven pro-am. For as awesome as she is as a basketball player, she loves golf as well. And as a major star in women’s sports, Clark was asked to participate in the Women’s Leadership Summit as a panel speaker.

They got into some deep subjects. And when the topic of biggest fear came up, the Indiana Fever star had a surprisingly simple response. But give her some credit, she had zero hesitation with the answer.

Clark doesn’t like cats. The stunned laughter and gasps to the answer were too good.

Clark said:

“I really don’t like cats. There was this black cat on my street growing up, and it was so mean. So, now I’m just — I’m scarred. So, I’m really scared of cats. So, I’m sorry if any of you have a cat. I like dogs a lot. But no cats.”

There is really just one acceptable explanation for people who do not like cats: Allergies. Otherwise cat-hating people tend to use an isolated bad experience to hate all cats or just decide they hate cats without even meeting one. Clark said that she wasn’t allergic but had a negative experience with a neighborhood cat as a child.

I don’t know. It sounds like Clark should give cats another chance, if you ask me.
