    While being scared of bees and flies isn't a bad thing, being scared of kittens is... just silly. Nonetheless, I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe if you have a pet, you can encourage her to maybe touch it or pet it, pardon the pun. If she does it enough she might be more comfortable and then maybe try to hold it in her hands. That may alleviate her phobia, one baby step at a time.

    By the way how old is your friend? If she is too young, maybe it's just a phase and she will overcome her fear as she grows up.

      The problem is, she always refuses to be around my cat. She either exits the room when he is around or askes me to move him. Plus my cat never scratches people, he loves being around others. She is not a child. (I can't say the exact age) She says its been there since she was very little. I think nobody can help her, she refuses to interact with animals.

        Unless she is willing to do something about it, others can't help her. So I guess i'ts best to let her be and accept her as she is.
