Living In Today's World: The Eminent Danger

From the January 30, 2017, Rubes comic strip.

A dog and a cat are trapped in a room and looking out to the hall where their owner is operating a vacuum cleaner.  The cat's back is arched and the dog is growling.

Cat:  "I despise that thing."
Dog:  "Me too."
Cat:  "We must destroy it."
Dog:  "We must."
Cat:  "Together."
Dog:  "The enemy of my enemy..."

Our dog Brandy was also petrified of the vacuum cleaner.  I am not afraid of it, but don't like the sound.  So when Liz vacuumed, the two of us made sure to stay in a different room the whole time.
