All week long, Ray has been howling two or three times a night. The first night, when the arrroooo alarm went off, I went to check on the blind hound. He was downstairs, standing in the front hall, looking up the stairs. Usually, when something like this happens, Ray will be at the back door waiting for me to let him out so that he can chase whatever-it-is that is passing through our backyard. But this time he was looking UP the stairs. After turning on the back and front porch lights to see if anyone was outside messing about, I stretched out on the couch for the rest of the night. Ray settled himself on my feet and we spent the rest of the night listening. Only one other time during that night did he sit up alertly and give one short, sharp rooo.
The next night was the same. Ray woke me, I went to check, and we spent the rest of the night on the couch.
By the third night, I was tired and so, obviously, was Ray. This time, when I went to turn off the arrroooo alarm, he hadn't bothered to leave his chair. There he was, curled up, ears in Dumbo mode, listening and howling.
Last night, after listening to him howl and growl for a couple of minutes, I went down to check on him. There he was, again curled in his chair, ears deployed in Dumbo mode, howling. Again I turned on the porch lights and looked out. Nothing. This time however, I went back upstairs and Ray came with me. He settled down on the futon but at some point in the night, he started howling again and went back downstairs.
I think we have ghosts. I'm not going to speculate on what kind of ghosts we have, but I'm pretty sure I know.

I do, too. Two little stealthy ones.

Yep.
DeleteI still think that my 20 year old kitty, Boobie, who passed 9 years ago is still here. Call me crazy. But Bosco knows she's still around.
DeleteEerie. Sometimes Blueberry likes to freak me out by staring intently into a dark room. If it is the bathroom I turn the light on, walk in and whack the shower curtain inward to see if anyone is in there.
ReplyDeleteI think Ray really misses his kitty friends. :(
I used to have a cat that would do that. Stare at the ceiling and then track something with her eyes, like something was crawling across it. There was never anything there (that I could see). Used to raise the hairs on the back of my neck though.
DeleteTwo little kitties are still visiting their earthly home!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I like having cat ghosts. Very comforting to me.
DeleteHugo getting the best of the blind hound.....
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I thought. Finally, a way to get his own back!
DeleteHmmm....I don't know about ghosts but I have told you about Breeze growling and lunging at nothing? She only does it when in her crate for nap or bed time. It'll be very quiet, everybody in their own space,nobody close to her and all of a sudden she gets partly up, growls and acts like she is under attack. Scares the bejeepers outta me in the middle of the night!
