Ghost Cat?

by Tara
(Bay Shore)

Like most children I grew up with pets and the one really bad thing about pets is that we out live them. I lived in a house in Bay Shore, Long Island and grew up with many cats.

So one night I was just getting ready to drift off to sleep as I felt a kind of heavy presence pressing into my back. It was warm like a cat curled up on me as I slept. The only problem was my cat was an outside cat at the time and she was no where near me. The feeling didn't go away.

I would get up, walk around and lay down, and without fail, the pressure would come back. Needless to say I was creeped out but not at all scared, the presence was more of a comforting nature so I fell asleep.

That next morning as I walked to the bus stop for school, I found my cat dead in the road. She was hit by a car. Needless to say I was quite spooked. That feeling never came back after that one night.

I googled because I have recently aquired some invisible cats. I don't have cats. Never have. don't particularly like them, and they scare me. Even with this, I knew it had 2 be cats. I started with 2. Poucyhouse(very heavy footed, likes 2 jump. And Boo Radley. Small, more timid.) Problem is, they keep me awake. ALOT! I got NO sleep last night, and they seem to have brought more with them. I startd to wonder if they were cats. Untill reading this. They stalk very slowly, and act like my bedroom is the romper room. I was mean today. Trying to sleep, I kept shoving them off and kicking them off my feet. Not actual kicking. I wonder if they'll return. My dog dosen't even notice. Saw a shadow person today too.And NOT out of the corner of my eye, full on! Broad daylight. Weird day

starstarstarstarstar 		Pumpkin In Ohio
by: Kathy B

We lost our cat Pumpkin after 17 years, then we got a stray Topaz and she pased. Since then we have not had a house cat, just dogs. My husband and myself have been in our bed at different times and felt a small animal (cat) walk across the bed, however nothing is there. My husband told me that he was not feeling well today and went into the bedroom to lay down awhile and felt the small feet walking across the bed. He said Pumpkin or Topaz is here. Last week I was in bed and no one was around and my back was to the bed and I felt the walking sensation. I looked up thinking it was our outside cat and no one was there. Should we be afraid?

by: Anonymous

I had a cat for 16 years, Pumpkin, she died of old age. We were so in tune to each other, very bonded, like soulmates. For the sake of my young children, we got another cat asap. I never really bonded as well with the new cat and the second one we got. One Saturday morning, around 5am, my husband got up. While he was gone, I felt a cat walk on my bed and jump off the floor. I sat up and thought one of the other cats had gotten into the bedroom by mistake. We have to keep them out due to allergies. There was no cat in the room. So, frustrated that I was woken up again, as this has happened many times before, I went back to sleep. When I got up, my husband said was there a cat in the room last night? It felt like a cat was walking on the bed, stayed with me then jumped off. That is what woke him up that day. My daughter then heard it and said, oh, that happens to me all the time. We all liked it so much as we had our Pumpkin with us, it was comforting. The one day we took in a cat from the back yard. It was below zero and she was so grateful to be in our house. That cat is the one I have bonded with just like Pumpkin. Ever since she came into our lives we do not feel Pumpkin anymore. Its sad but then again not, because that shows how much she loved us and is satisfied we are ok. She is waiting for us to join her.

I am so glad to hear that I am not crazy! My ghost cat has been with me over a year now. And to be honest, I wish it would just go into the light. Keeps me awake and really just freaks me out. Plus, he is inviting friends to come with him. Seriously! I actually saw him the other morning, very strange. You could see through him, but then again, you couldn't. I don't know, very weird. Also, when your cat touches you, does it feel like some sort of electrical or magnetic feeling? My ghost cat usually sleeps at my feet and when he touchs my feet or any part of me, it feels very strange. Kinda like if you were to rub a balloon over your hair and then feel that static charge. Kinda like that. Anyways, if anyone has any advice how to get my cat go to kitty heaven, please let me know. Thanks. :)

starstarstarstarstar 		Had a Ghost Cat Experience Too!
by: Jr.

One night in my room I heard my desk that is right next to my bed creek. Like something jumped up on it. Then the ghost cat basically walked down from the desk onto where my feet are and started kneading like cats do. I then felt it walk up towards me and start kneading on my pillow. I quickly tried to grab at my ear where it was after experiencing this for five minutes to make sure it was totally real. There was nothing there. This happened probably about 10 more times. It then got cold so I had like 12 blankets on my bed and I could barely feel it happen anymore. Then it just stopped happening. Maybe tonight there will be another experience though,? Ya never know-oh!

starstarstarstarstar 		Ghost Cat Experience
by: Ghost Cat Wrangler

My parents had their cat put to sleep after he fell ill and since then, I sometimes have strange experiences.
It usually starts off with me in bed, my door closed, lights out, nobody else in the room (including the replacement cat). I occasionally feel a cat jump on my bed and then walk around like they often do. It's a pretty distinctive feeling and anyone who has ever owned an indoor cat knows what it's like.
Sometimes I'll hear it purring, though it doesn't sound quite like a normal cat's purring. Occasionally, it will jump off the bed and I can hear it hit the floor. I turn the lights on and there is no cat anywhere.
I brought my experiences up with my mother and she looked very surprised upon hearing about them. She said that she had the same types of experiences (cat jumping on the bed and walking around a bit). My grandfather (who lives there with my mother) also claims to have experienced the 'Ghost Cat'.

by: Miami Mom

I used to live in an apartment in Hialeah,Fl. for about 3 years(7 years ago) and one night during the last year there I fell asleep on my bed with the covers over me and felt a real sensation on a cat like weight and manner walking on me..I was so tired and scared..but it woke me up. I even checked my room and under my bed..thinking that just maybe a cat was in the apartment..but I found nothing..really freaky.

starstarstarstarstar 		Weird coincidence
by: Scott Pereira

I searched Ghost Cat in google because that is the name of the brewing company me and my partner hope to open on Long Island. I also live in Bay Shore, and we do our brewing in East Islip. Just thought it was an odd coincidence to find a LI phenomenon about Ghost Cats...

starstarstarstarstar 		I have had this happen a couple times.
by: Anonymous

The first time it was in my parents basement, which is sort of haunted I guess, only my sister and I are the only ones who experience weird things down there. There is a spirit or something who lives down there.

One night I was half asleep and heard a cat purring, it sniffed me, I felt the pressure as it walked across my chest, it lay down for a minute on my abdomen, then it got up and started lightly biting my hand because it wanted to be petted. This all went over fine with me until I realized that my mom's cat had been dead for over a year.

Once I realized this, the creature bit down hard on my hand and I woke up completely. I must state that I was lucid throughout, as in lucid dreaming/sleep where you are aware that you are not entirely awake and on another level.

My sister had something bad happen to her in that room, I think it was an incubus (and yes they do exist although I am not religious the fact that those beings exist is a fact).

Then the other night in my own house I felt a cat jump on me, walk across my chest, and I felt an animosity coming from it. This is in an entirely different house where I have never owned a cat.

So last night when I felt the animal on me I immediately thought "No! My cat has been dead for several years!" I focused on licking my lips and that always wakes me up when I have a weird experience like this. I knew that if I stayed "asleep" or whatever the cat would start biting me.

I don't know if it is left over energy from a cat or what, but it is very odd, and it only seems to happen to sensitive people.

I googled "Ghost Cat" and this site popped up. The reason for my search was to see if others experienced what I did recently. Lying in bed I too felt a weight on my chest, and in half sleep, felt something licking my face, then felt this presence settle, as if curled up like a cat on my chest. I lost my cat to cancer after 14 years, and have sensed her presence before. But never this strongly. It was so real. Amazing!

When I was living in Sayville i had the same experience, I felt something walk up my bed and it warm and small, I assumed it was the cat curling up with me. But when I looked the door was shut and I was alone. I was scared but it felt so nice that it really didn't bother me.

starstarstar 		cat in the night
by: Anonymous

Yeah, my cat passed away recently and the next night after her death, I felt pressure and felt like a cat walking up my chest and then behind my head so I thought it was my cat visiting me so soon; however, I felt the same exact pressure--everything exact a few years ago while my cat was still alive....I guess I have a ghost cat/guardian angel? wish I knew!!
