Why are some people scared of cats?

I saw a woman on TV who ran screaming back to her car because there was a cat on the steps. The cat was literally thirty or forty feet away and she flipped out, like she saw a monster or something. How could someone be scared of a tiny animal?

    I love cats personally but its like asking why are people scared of spiders. It's a phobia I've known people to hate cats but none to runaway screaming I think she may just have a cat phobia or she may be allergic or even had a bad experiance as a kid or something.
