LOL. I've got a replica of a claw from a Deinonychus. It scares my cat.
I'll bet it would!

Interesting how deep seated some instincts/fears are in animals. I had two ferrets (just one now) who were never scared of anything - the big one beat up my cat and the little one held its own.
The ferrets love to jump up on the bed especially while its being made. One day we were out of clean sheets and my wife dug out some black sheets from my college days and started making the bed and the ferrets immediately jump up on the bed to be covered (which they enjoyed.)
When she fluffed the black top sheet over their heads the ferrets screamed in terror and ran and hid and wouldn't come out.
My guess is that in the past, ferrets who lived long enough to breed were the ones who avoided big black things swooping from the sky.
