He didn't respond though and refused to even look up. That was unusal. Plus, he was looking directly down and not moving. It's hard to explain, but I know this cat well so I actually got up to see what he was so fascinated with. I expected it to be a raccoon or rabbit, but what I saw was a man crouching down under the window. I'm not kidding. I yelled and the man ran. I have no idea who it was. I haven't had any problems since, but it scared the he!! out of me. Funny thing is, I also had a very large dog. The dog didn't notice the intruder, but the cat did!
i'm only the second person to live in my condo and no one has died here, so i haven't really seen the ghost stare yet.......but i do get freaked about them staring out the window. it just freaks me out anyway..

that must have been SOOOOOOOOOO scary

My house has 3 ghost in it. They are only active at night. We dont see them, but we hear them. One of the ghost is VERY mischevious!!!!! When my cats were alive, they would "stare" at things we couldnt see. My birds do the same thing. They sometimes just stare and hiss at what to us is nothing... But I believe that they see the ghosts.

Honestly, I think I'd prefer ghosts compared to finding a man hiding under my window again. ;-) Cats are just very perceptive. It might just be a sound they hear, such as a mouse in the attic or behind a wall that you might not be able to hear yourself. I don't believe in ghosts. I don't think cats see them. Their senses are just more keen than ours, that's all...

Sorry to bring up a 4 year old (dead? :P) thread!

I used to believe this too, maybe it is true. Have certainly experienced it with other cats and wondered what an earth they're looking at.

But just wanted to add... I played with one of my kittens with a light reflection once in our room for about 20 seconds when I was bored. Now sometimes she just sits staring at that wall or others in the room on high alert for an hour or more!

Just saying, I don't think they're always on a higher consciousness - and they're definitely sometimes mesmerized by shadows and lights!

My cat Ruby, who is realy sweet , sometimes starts growling at walls or running around like she is either chasing something or being chased .she will be sleeping on my bed when I am doing something and just start out of nowhere Her pupils are dilated whenever she does this and I have heard that cats can see things we can't . I wonder sometimes if she is seeing my loved ones that passed away because on long island medium I saw her tell a lady her dog was playing with her husbands spirt.If any one knows for sure about this please let me know because at knight she freaks me out and sometimes I feel realy bad because she is hiding under my bed and I can't get her out.rbheart.gif

I don't believe in ghosts but my cats sometimes have me worried when they all start and stare into space when I can see or hear nothing. They did this once all looking at a wall, and freaked me out until suddenly, through the tiniest crack beside the electricity meter, a bluetit emerged! Sadly, before I could get to the door to let it out, it knocked itself out flying into a window and Ellie got there before I could. There are all kinds of things living in our walls that we don't hear but the cats can.

Don't know if any of the cats we had growing up ever "saw" anything, but strange things had occured in that house while growing up. So much so that at 24 I still sleep with all the lights on (and even that doesn't always help). I was the one seeing and hearing things (the cats were never around during those times).

One of my sister's boyfriends even admitted to seeing another girl sitting with the four of us (my sisters and I) in our living room mirror while playing video games! But, this was well after our cats were gone and as I said before, I don't recall them ever doing anything like what has been said.

Me too :)

 

As far as "ghosts" I believe there can be certain leftover "energies" and also that demons can take on any form they wish.

 

Most of the time, 99% of the time when my cats do that- I can find a tiny bug or something they are going after, the other 1% - not so much. I know animals can sense things, storms, etc that human's can't... So it would be no surprise they would be able to discern and see into the spiritual realm.
