This cat clearly doesn’t understand what’s happening but trusts its human enough to let them play their weird game and I love that. Most cats I’ve had would be struggling and meowing loudly like HUMAN YOU TRAITOR I LOVED YOU AND YOU GRABBED MY LITTLE ARMS I NEED THOSE
I was gonna say, “Hey my orange tabby had lots of thoughts” but then I found a picture of her stuck in between the screen and windowpane because she wanted to catch the frogs outside.
I’ve hear about how having cats makes you immune to hauntings, ghosts, spooky midnight noises etc but. for years I’ve been dealing with a panic response to unexpected nighttime noises, major enough that the adrenaline can keep me from falling back asleep for hours.
A few weeks of living with a cat and my brain’s been reprogrammed. last night at 4am the furry little shitmuppet broke a vase & I only woke up long enough to call her a rat bastard & roll over back to sleep
Oh shit. This totally made me realize that it must have been my cat that killed my fear of the dark. I used to be intensely scared of walking into dark spaces. Hated any area where I had to turn a light off before I could turn another one on.
Enter my mostly black demon who likes to jump out of dark spaces at me.
Now I can just walk through dark rooms with no anxiety. I’m now used to the darkness taking physical form and jumping at me. At this point if a monster did jump out of the darkness I’d instinctively reach for the cat treats to offer it.
holy crap what other fears do cats make you immune to?
I’m no longer scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of demons with sharp claws & glowing eyes, i’m scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of one specific small furry demon with sharp claws & glowing eyes
Having lived in a genuinely very active haunted house, having cats will not make the hauntings go away. But you’ll stop caring because the cat’s litterbox is far worse to deal with.
Besides, the cats are just busy wondering if these other people will pet them.
