Can cats see ghosts?

Gawdamn my cat freax me out. Okay it's my roomate's cat but it might as well be mine cuz we hang plenty. He's jet black and his nake is Onyx. I just call 'im Nigguh.

Then again aI call all my close friends Nigguh.

Anyways there'll be times when his eyes dart around and he follows something, trying to paw it once in awhile.

It ain't a fly.

It's not lint either. Lint doesn't move that fast. And My eye sight's good enough to catch a fruitfly so like, wtf?

Sometimes Onyx looks at me then follows something across the room. I realize that he's looking at someting else. I don't feel any different, like there's something in the room. Onyx never freaks out or is scared so I don't think it's bad.

So here's my theory:

Cats' perception of reality differs from ours. We as humans percieve time/space (epoxpanse; ie the epochs of expanse) as a linear thing and are preoccupied with this plane and our problems. What the fuck do cats do all day? Their general abilities are pretty limited. Their speech is very simple, as is their vocaublary of body language. They're emotional and can be quite independent-layin up under five different houses and brands of catfood if they're the outdor type. Sure they're smart, but they can't build bombs. They sleep and eat and purr and fight and fuck and that's about it.

But their sight is uncanny. They really study shit. Dogs are all about their noses cats are about the eyes. I figure they pick up on afterimages 'ghosts' to us. People or events that are happenning in other planes of reality we can't percieve, not even with our technology. (Check my blog 'Gettin Quantum' fo' mo' o' dat sheeyit)


Are they catching past and future events? Cats' vision shifts between various epoxpanse phases: they'll see me standing there and see someone-or something walk through my face. If I make a move to touch Onyx he'll respond, soon as he's bored with me, he'll shift his focus on that other fucker walking through my room. Maybe Onyx is watching worms slither through the soil of some other reality.


Any other theories?
