I had three cats; Bree (the mother), Joval, and Monkeyface. Fairly often Monkeyface would come in around bedtime, curl up and go to sleep on my bed with me. So the feel of a cat jumping up into my bed, pawing around and then flopping on me to sleep wasn't at all unusual.
so, one night i had just climbed into bed, and there it is, ba-bum bump, a cat jumping onto the bed. walking over my thigh, and settling in to sleep at the space between my knees. it was al lwarm and putting that I anted to reach down and give it a pet.
There was nothing there.
So, I figured, you know, maybe I'm imagining it. or asleep and dreaming. Nope, here comes another pounce onto my bed, as Monkeyface joins me, nuzzles my face, and then drapes herself on my pillow at the top of my head. I reach up, yes, she's really there. I reach down and despite clear purring pressure on my leg, there's nothing there.
For two years, this continued, even after I had to get rid of the cats. I would get into bed, a cat would jump onto the bed, paw around, then flop down to sleep. Sometimes next to my hip. sometimes between my knees. Or against a foot, once or twice against a shin. It would only happen at night, if I took a nap in the day or laid down to read a book before 7, nothing happened. But if I climbed in after eight, for any reason, there it was. It was warm. It purred. it moved, and would even get up and walk around if i mived too much. But there was never anything there.
It never really bothered me. I mean, i'm a pretty rational person, I don't believe in the supernatural, but I know with 100% certainty that an insubstantial thing that acted, felt, and moved just like a cat, spent two years snuggling up on my legs while I was in bed. And really, when you think about it. most ghost stories are pretty freaky or unsettling. me? I got an entity-thing that leaned on me and purred at bedtime. So compared to some Amityville bullshit, I think I was doing alright.
Anyway after two years, it stopped coming. I have no idea what it was, what started it, or why it stopped. Just one of those things.
