1. The cat has unexplained powers of hypnosis. And occasionally teleports when nobody is watching.

2. When you come home, the stereo is tuned to the dead space between stations. Even though you're sure that it was tuned to Easy Listening when you last played it.

3. The cat sits in your lap, and there's a bright light, and the next thing you know it's three days later, and you can't account for the past seventy-two hours.

4. You get mysterious phone calls asking for names you never heard of. The voice sounds like Elvis.

5. Your cat is interested in your old college chemistry text, and absorbs its content by sitting on it. Every few minutes the cat carefully turns to a new page.

6. Things in your house mysteriously disappear. Aluminum foil. Coat hangers. Household bleach. The magnetron tube from your microwave oven.

7. The cat sometimes seems to be trying to speak English, particularly simple words: "wow," "me," "now," "yow," "out!" and "isotopically purified plutonium-237 trioxide."

8. The cat has taken an exceptional interest in the satellite television dish. You think that this might be normal for cats, but your cat has rewired it, and aimed it for the Andromeda galaxy.

9. The neighbors complain about bright lights hovering over your house at night.

10. All cats are aliens. Why should yours be any different?

~Geoffrey A. Landis
