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.

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.

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!!

You know it could have been your sixth sense telling you to look after your cat.

Yeah well I live in Bay Shore and it is weird because I have felt like a cat is in my house and like I see one but nothing is there and it is weird and scary.

Wow, that's spooky and sad. I know what you mean about outliving pets. That's the sad part...
