Carmelo Anthony is afraid of 'a cat,' and potentially multiple cats

Carmelo Anthony took a brief break from DECLARING HIS COMMITMENT and having his leadership questioned by former teammates on Monday to visit Facebook's New York offices and participate in a rapid-fire question-and-answer session. 'Melo got through 18 fan questions in a minute, and while he hedged his bets on "Jay Z or Nas?" — he went with "both," like someone who's still not sure if he thinks "Ether" was better than "Takeover" — he was unequivocal on one major issue.
"What animal are you most afraid of?" Anthony asked himself. "... A cat."
Anthony joins Memphis Grizzlies mauler Zach Randolph among the ranks of basketball stars terrified of cats. Three more and we've got an NBA All-Star team that, at long last, finally couldn't beat Kentucky.
Whether Anthony's fear rises to the level of legit ailurophobia, with its attendant heart palpitations, nausea and throat/chest tightness, is unclear. What is clear, however, is that his fear's consistent — he offered a similar answer to this question more than three years ago to the Knicks Kid Reporters.
