Ellie New Cat is a good guard cat

[thistle_chaser]

Very rarely, I'm sorry I live alone. I was sitting at my desk when a section of the blinds covering the window next to me moved. The window was closed and locked. Only a section moved (maybe a quarter of the blinds). Ellie wasn't in the room. What the hell made the blinds move

Good Ellie. My Sam would have been cowering. He hugs my neck and buries his head under my chin when things get too scary.

Ghosts are scared of cats, so you should be fine!

[thistle_chaser]

I still have no idea what caused it, but I made it through the night, so yay! Darned whatever it was was probably scared of Ellie.

Oddly, she's not afraid of much. (Or rather, she doesn't run from things she's scared of.) When a dog comes to the window, she puffs up and growls, but doesn't leave.

Sam knows exactly who will protect him! :D

It's nearly Hallowe'en...

[thistle_chaser]

Haha that thought did strike me after I posted this!

Man, that would freak me out, even knowing most things have a logical explanation. Maybe the cord just slipped a bit for whatever reason.

[thistle_chaser]

Same. Things shouldn't move for no reason! If the whole thing had moved, that would be one thing. But this was just a small section, like when my cat passes through them...

[beauty_forashes]

Sure she didn't, or were you looking directly at the screen? I know my cat can move from one room to the next in about 0.2 seconds without making a sound, like a shadow. I'd swear he's in one place, and then it turns out he's downstairs, like he'd beamed himself - lol.

[thistle_chaser]

Pretty sure! She was sleeping in the bedroom when this happened.

about to grab me with cold dead hands...

Augh. Aaaaugh! Um, so, yeah. Please post this morning and let us know you're still alive and sentient and not under the control of an alien intelligence. (Everyone knows alien intelligences can't use LJ.)

*cough*

I made it through the night! Or do I only think I did?

I still don't know what caused the movement though...

I am fond of the idea that people who were benevolent or loved us in life do not become creepy haunty evil poltergeists after death. (I'm not entirely sure I believe in ghosts, but I can't disprove their existence scientifically, so I'm not sure I disbelieve in them either!)

Perhaps someone fond of you, or just curious about what you were doing, was looking in!

[thistle_chaser]

Dear peeping tom ghosts: Please stop that. :|

And mostly agreed: If there were some kind of scientific proof that ghosts existed, I'd believe in them. I'm open to proof being found, though until that happens, I don't think I can believe in them. Unless it's dark and late at night and something moves on its own...

If you ever need a ridiculously over-paranoid creature to keep a very loud eye on things, you should borrow Charlie for a while. :)

[thistle_chaser]

Haha Charlie would be perfect! I think 'loud' would scare away anything that could somehow pass through a closed window!

...and man, this whole post is making me sound like I really believe in ghosts or something. I don't! At least in the light of day. :P
