Demon Cat...

astonwest · Nov 22, 2008

Holy crap! Just a moment ago, our cat (who was in a dead sleep) jerked awake and hissed up at the ceiling. Scared the hell (no pun intended) out of both my wife and me.

I think the thing's possessed (or just suffering from a nightmare). Anyone know of a good fiery volcano I could throw her into?

You might have a mouse or other small furry critter in the attic.

My Tuxedo did the same thing the other night! She was asleep on top of the entertainment center - suddenly jumped straight up, hissing and spitting, kicked a heavy solid-glass picture frame off the side of it - which scared her even worse as it shattered against the hearth - and then disappeared for the rest of the evening.

Do you think they got a simulcast from the Mother Ship or something?

"Demon cat" is redundant.

Yes, but it's so bad it needed repeating...

I'm going to have to keep a close eye on both of our furballs...this one has also been "kneading" my wife's throat at night. She thought it was just the cat trying to love up on her.

Now, I'm not so sure...

Signals from afar often ride in on fronts that push barometer way high.

Huh, now my cat is acting weird. It must be something in the air.

Cat Rule # 47
Look at the things people can't see and make funny noises.

About five years ago, I was working at my desk and my cat Liliith was asleep on my lap. So as I sit there, typing up some pithy brilliance, all of a sudden the cat woke up, hissing screaming and clawing at my face. Needless to say, said psycho cat went sailing across the room and landed against the wall. By the time she hit the floor, she was calm enough to land on her feet and saunter out of the study with her nose in the air.

She survived just fine. I couldn't leave the house for a week or so.

I think that cats must have vivid dreams.

Cats can see ghosts.

Look for "exorcism" in the Yellow Pages now.

My cat will often stare into a closet and meow until you tell her to shut up.

Wasn't my closet. :tongue

Actually this morning, she was over by one of the walls, just staring at the baseboards with her tail flicking back and forth, like she was waiting for something to come out of it.

Strangely, I do that with ours and she comes back to love up on me...

Ray beat me to it. When I was in Philly at my aunts, you'd sweat the cat was moving furniture upstairs. They said she played with the ghosts.

*key twilight zone music*

the ways of the cat are strange

I had a cat that turned lights on and off.
Another that opened doors-- crafty critters
