Monsters under the bed!

This morning my cat had one of her freak-outs to start the day. It was a particularly unnerving one though because it started with an angry growl before she tore into the room, claws scraping the carpet. She ended up on the far side of my bed and I turned my phone light on to look at her. She was crouched in the classic hunting posture and her tail was whipping back and forth while peering under the bed!

Part of me knew there was nothing there because as she's aged (she's about 15 now) she's begun seeing invisible mice (what we call them anyway) and it's kind of funny. This morning though it was clearly no mouse that she was imagining!

 

That would freak me out!!! Did it want to make you check under the bed though? lol

 

Did you look under the bed for a spider? Does she have cataracts? Just a thought . Also people can get floaters in their eyes and I don't see why animals can't get them a as well. I know My sister-in-law had a bought with them and it looked like lots of spiders coming down in front of her eyes. Scared the daylights out of her. Kitty also could have had a nightmare. Alison

 

I did check under the bed;D

I don't see any evidence of cataracts but I'm sure there's something going on with her old eyes. Floaters is a good possibility! Or hallucinations. What's that saying? A cat is twice a kitten? Something like that...

 

The only one I used to hear from my Mother was, "The trouble with a kitten's that, It very soon becomes a cat.". Did she get into the catnip?. I keep a plant on the front lanI which when we are sitting out there, Miss Kitty comes out and snacks on it, then tries to get the Chihuahua to play some chase games. Alison

 

Nope, I have nuclear-grade catnip and I keep it locked up

 

Did you check her litter box? Occasionally we get spiders in the litter box, and the cats will shoot across the house after using it, as though somethings on their tail

 

Never seen spiders in the litter box, though I have seen her chase them across the floor!
