Ghost Pets
Monday, November 27th, 2006About 10 years ago, when I was 4 or 5, my dad accidentally closed our garage door on a stray black cat, killing it. We didn’t recognize it. I don’t remember this incident, my mother told me and my 13-year-old brother about it. Needless to say, my dad was ashamed and we burried it in our yard. Just last year, my brother said he saw a ghost cat walking around on three different occassions. The first time he spotted it outside, the second time the cat was sitting beside him inside the house and jumped through the ceiling to the second floor, and the third time was also inside the house. My brother told me he was scared of it, but the cat never tried to hurt him or showed any aggression toward him. He is especially afraid to go into the guest bedroom because he said he feels like something is watching him, and he suspects it is the cat. Would his impulsive fear of this ghost cat suggest that the cat was trying to hurt him in any way? What reason does the cat have for hanging around our house? (more…)
