I seem to have a knack for animals since cats and dogs always seem to like me. That's great and all...until I'm wearing my good clothes and find animal hair all over it!

Fear of cats isn't entirely irrational if you consider that one of the main driving forces for primitive "humans" to develop larger and more complex brains for reasoning purposes was predation by big cats.

There's also Ranma Saotome of the Ranma 1/2 manga. He suffers extreme fear of cats, due to childhood trauma. A short description can be found at Wikipedia, of course.
