Ghost Cat,

I first wrote this post in 2014 for this blog. It is our 8th Most popular post of all time, so I'm reprising the post for our 8th Blog-o-versary! I hope you enjoy it...

The Ghost Cat visited our house again last night.

We've lived with this possible pussycat for five years. Doors on cupboards full of nice soft towels and blankets--exactly the sorts of places a kitty might choose to curl up in--seem to open when we're not looking, even when our alive-and-kicking cat, Freckles, is shut in 'his' room in the basement. When we're in bed for the night, sometimes what seems to be Freckles jumps on the bed and lies down--but when one of us reaches to pet him, poof--he's not there.

That's just freaky.

Would Ghost Hunters Jason and Steve from TAPS
http://the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com/ ) suggest that vibrations we don't notice affect the cupboard doors? Maybe we dream the cat-on-the-bed incidents--but why would two people dream the same dream, sometimes at the same time?

Tonight, we had a new experience. Freckles jumped onto the couch beside me, eyes dilated, tail swishing, and spent ten minutes playing with something that wasn't there. He acted exactly as though he were playing with another cat. He's never, ever done that since he moved in with us seven years ago.

At least whatever-it-is, is friendly.

And playful.

That's good, right?

Any Ghost Cat or other ghostly events where you live now? Was wondering about goats, chickens and alpacas (or were they llamas)?

Second time around, it's still a cool post!

That is spooky--do you still the the ghost cat, or did it disappear?

Ooh, spooky! A ghost cat would be the best sort of ghost, in my opinion. I often think one of our cats has joined us in bed, only to discover he's not there. Perhaps one of our many former kitties has stuck around to watch over us.

Nope, no Ghost Cat or anything else since we moved to the country, Judith and Lynn! Guess it was attached to the house we rented for five years.

Glad you enjoyed this post a second time, Diana.

Luanna, sounds like you may be right!
