Daughter's boyfriend fears cats?

Not hate cats, fears them. Not allergic, avoids them for fear of attack. Okay with dogs. Am I being punked? They have dated for just over a year. We have 3 cats, she has none at her apartment.

6. Ailurophobia: Fear of Cats- Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

https://www.healthtopia.net/disease/mental-health/phobia/ailurophobia-fear-of-cats
"The word Ailurophobia has been derived from Greek word “ailouros” which means cats. Ailurophobia, also known as gatophobia, is signified by intense dread of cats with no reasonable explanation. Almost all the times, the cats do not pose a real risk at all. Most of the people having Ailurophobia are scared to get bitten or scratched by cats. This is very much common in people, especially people having zoophobia. In fact, 22.2 percent of people of U.S are estimated to be going through Ailurophobia."

10. I've lost track of all our rescue cats.

Tons of scars on my hands, arms. Never had a Christmas tree. Cats three at a time, add a pair of dogs simultaneously. All adoptions came with issues, all given happy long lives.
