A few days ago we went to someone's house and they had a cat. Q froze and then started shaking, groaning, and eventually crying. At 6 months, this is the first time I have seen him truly scared. He doesn't even have any stranger danger yet. I picked him up and calmed him down but the cat walked by again and the reaction happened again. My cat passed away while pregnant, so we don't have one at home, but today on our walk one was in a yard and he went ballistic! Is this normal? How do I help him overcome this? We can't avoid cats all the time. They are all over the neighborhood and I was really hoping to get another one some day soon

Could go either way. But honestly, if you want a cat someday I'd get it sooner than later so he gets used to it being around versus getting used to the feeling of fear when he sees one. Just my opinion.
It's really odd too because I'm an animal lover and I did supply half of her genetic make up!
Luca freaked out! I quickly took him away, but I was so pleased that he's aware that there's a gigantic hulking beast he doesn't recognize.
As for a fear of cats? I'm terrified of them, so your son sounds incredibly sensible.

Kate is smart. I've avoided those freaky things for 38.5 years.
A friend of mine has volunteered to wear a costume so he can take off the head and show her it is him/not scary (he's one of her favorite people!). But I'm thinking she would have a genuine heart stoppage if a giant character ever entered our house!
Sorry for the thread-jack!
Shanny -- with Kate, could you have your friend come over in street clothes and then get into costume with Kate watching? Maybe then she wouldn't be afraid?
