The boots are here but where is the puss?

I was chatting with Hat and Yb, and the laundryman saw us. He got very excited, and called out: " CAT! CAT! COME HERE!" Yb just glared at him, and Hat ran away. The laundryman always gets so excited and giggled when he saw the cats, but the cats are so afraid of him!

I wonder if it is because he looks like a chipmunk.
