Kitty Freak Out

Back in October I wrote a post called Night Fright.
About how I had been scaring myself.
You know how everyone says that cats are able to sense spirits?
That they are so preceptive that they can see things on a spectrum that we cannot see?
Yes well draw your chair closer to the fire for a Christmas Tail.
The week of Christmas Loki became very clingy.
I would be sitting watching t.v. or playing games and suddenly he would come flying over climb up on me and hug me.
His eyes would close and he would purr.
After a bit he would get down and wander off.
I was sitting on the couch when Loki let out a squawk and came flying over to me.
He climbed up onto my lap, stretched across me one paw on me right shoulder and his left paw clinging to my sweater.
I look down at him.
His eyes begin moving around.

His eyes zig zag up down.
Down up.
I am watching this a feeling growing in my stomach.
Loki’s head is swiveling and his eyes are getting wider and wider.
Suddenly he turns his head looking right behind my head.
I thought I felt something poke my hair.
I screamed blue murder.
mean one
Loki flew off my lap.
I start to laugh.
T asked me if I was ok.
Gasping with laughter I told him what I had done to myself.
Last week I was sitting on the couch eating my dinner.
The cats were watching me, waiting to see if I was going to drop anything for them to dive in on.
Loki is sitting on the floor.
Lucky is on the back of the couch.
Suddenly something soft brushes against my neck causing me to bolt upright and scream.

It was Thomas.
He had decided to sit on the armrest of the couch behind my head.
I am not allowed to read horror now when T is not at home.
He is still deciding on when he is home lol
Apparently my shrieking suddenly causes his heart to skip a beat or two.
