Ghost Cat

Last night just as I was falling asleep I was awakened twice by the feeling of a cat running across the back of my calves and curling up behind my back. Freaky! I was half asleep and telling myself "put your hand behind your back!" to check if a cat was really there (we usually shut the door to the bedrooms at bedtime and I wondered if one cat was left in) but I was so tired it took a while before I could finally fling my arm back and realize no cat. That was creepy so I went back to sleep, only to have it happen again. I can still sort of feel today where the sensation was across the back of my legs.

I don't think it really was a ghost cat though*. I did think briefly of my favourite kitty who died last year but she was much lighter than how this felt and she used to jump across me and cuddle up near my arms, not against my back. This felt exactly how my fat orange cat stomps across me and sleeps against my back in the morning, so it was some weird physical memory reasserting itself just as I went to sleep. Thanks, brain.

This happened to me once before when I was home alone and it felt like someone grabbed my hand. That was much creepier.

* I know all the non-believers read that and go "duh, really?" Lol.
