Can cats see ghosts?

[DrNiblik]

Okay... Well how about our lost friends coming back to see us??? When my girlfriend's ancient pooch Teysha died, she swore she could hear her claws on the kitchen tile late at night. I thought that maybe she was just missing her beloved pet until I stayed in her house one night and heard it myself! Do you guys think that sometimes our pets might not go too far after they cross the "rainbow bridge"?

[Whisk_Luva]

Maybe they stay with us and then humans and their pets cross rainbow bridge together?

[XoSkittlezXo]

Yea I agree with whiskluver maybe they do stay with us! maybe we hear barks in our head and maybe thats a sign they are with us still! that stuff is freaky

[Whisk_Luva]

It is a nice thought...

I think Leonardo sees Angels. He will lay beside me in bed and look off into space. He's not a bit frightened or anything. Since I always ask God to surround my house with angels, I figure that's who he sees.

The others probably see them too because they are never afraid of what they are seeing.

My cats are very used to seeing ghosts in my apartment, so used to it that they just state with interest and don't get scared any more. I think they are either seeing angels (angels will gather wherever you display their images, something I read once and found out is very true) or some friends (like Ora Ray Glore, the fmr. Hells Angels LACO Chapter president who's the older brother of my former fiance and adopted me as his "Lil' Sis" and sometimes accompanied by his parents one of whom knew me when I was affianced), and relatives (the Two Grandmas Nellie and Kay and the Grandpas Ron C. & Jacob Russell D.) who like to hang around and watch me and the kitties play.

If your animals are frightened of what they are seeing, it's time to consult a psychic or medium who can help you deal with the spirit that is frightening them; it might be someone who is malevolent or just doesn't know they are dead and needs a little help moving on!

I rarely sense something evil in my apartment; if I do, I will read the 15th Psalm aloud and with reverence, which anything negative simply cannot remain in the presence of even one word of the Psalms spoken out loud, especially those Psalms (the 91st Psalm, Michael's psalm, also works like that, too) I also burn frankincense, yes, the real stuff they burn in church, it can be bought online if you do a google search...be sure to buy the charcoal "cups" to burn it on as it (the incense) comes in a bag of chunks and not in stick form.

Hope this helps!

Hi. I'm new here, but was reading this thread about cats seeing spirits, etc. I have to agree with 'ValorousFlame777' that, if your animals are frightened, it really is time to consult a psychic/medium to get rid of the spirit. Cats should never be scared of any spirit they see, within the confines of your home. If they are, the spirit is not friendly.

I have been seeing spirits since I was a small child. I am a "psychic-medium" and, since losing my precious "Yosha" cat, I saw her a number of times. She still visits me and she passed in August, 2006. I communicate with animals who are past on also. Over and above all that, my apartment has many "orb" spirits here, of which I took pictures of. My two kittens watch them and even play with them sometimes, but they are never scared of them, as the spirits are friendly. I would highly suggest what 'ValorousFlame' said to do, if your animal/s is frightened of any spirit they see.

Thanks for listening.

When we were still in Bahrain, Mouse would look up at the ceiling for forever. But, once I look up to where he was looking, he would just walk off like nothing happened. To this day, I don't know if he was PLAYING with me or seeing something.

My Chaz had me bewildered the other night. He was sitting upright on the top of his cat tree so I went over to try to engage him in playing with a toy. He ignored the toy and me and was frozen with intent, staring over my shoulder. I could only think it was a bird or something outside as he was facing a window that was clear across two rooms.

So I just shrugged and walked away. Then he jumped down and was slinking into the kitchen, tail fluffed to observe whatever it was from another angle. This time he was NOT looking toward any windows. He never fluffs his tail for any reason.

I thought it might be that he didn't recognize Lizette, who was calmly sitting on the dining room in the general area of his focus. I removed her, and his behavior did not change. He was freaked by something invisible to me. If it was a ghost, Lizette didn't mind it being there, and seemed very relaxed; enough to sit close to it.

Also, each morning I find one (always the same one) of the cats' toys deposited on the bedroom rug, next to my side of the bed. This has been going on for several weeks. I always pick it up and put it back in the living room. At first I thought it was either Cochise or Chaz, but I have never seen any of my cats carry toys in their mouths, ever. Maybe it is the ghost of Lily, Muskrat or Meeshe? I just don't get it.

i think that i saw the ghost of my dead dog.
blue used to lie at the top of the stairs,
and because he was black, i couldnt see him in the dark.
red was in my parents room,
all the cats were either sleeping or out playing.
i went out into the hallway, went to walk downt he stairs, i moved my right foot to the part where blue used to lie.
and i heard that weird groan noise you sometimes get when you poke a sleeping dog with your foot.
i looked down, i went to reach for blue as if his death had just been a nightmare-
nothing there. yet i still find myself, about, 9 months after he was put down, stepping over him.
and the cats never sleep in blues place.
+ isnt this a bit freaky?
(ps i know tis about dogs)
Purple died (blues sister) before she could be rescued
Blue died after 12 years with us,
Now we have a dog called Red that came to us Purely by chance?
Sometimes i think that Red may have Blue and Purples spirits inside her- she ahs the same nose and mischevious antics...

Definitely! I was away earlier this year, and my housemate was minding the cats, and there was some ghostly activity going on (so much so even we knew about it). The cats were just going nutz, running around and meowing strangely. I have seen it before myself.

I like the concept of "veils" being thin in humans, and I also think that animals are naturally attuned to what goes on in the next life. My two remaining kitties, Pixie and Randie, certainly behaved oddly when Nibbler passed on to the Bridge.

[honeybeezercattalina]

Noodle is the same - staring over my shoulder etc....

[meep1995]

my kitten acts strange, when he was fast asleep, he woke up and just stared at something, then he moved his head,and started meowing...that always freaks me out thinking about it

[Barbiecat]

I really believe they can. When my husband died in 1997, my cat was only two years old. Several times when we were watching TV, he would look up at the ceiling above us and stare at a particular spot. I assumed it was my husband making sure we were both okay. I reassured him that we were, and eventually he left. My cat and I haven't heard from him since.

My dog sees ghosts! When i saw one i went to a preacher who said it was a gift from god. I see ghosts of my dead cats and my moms dead dad and people that once lived where i currently live. It is very cool!
