I apologize for bumping an old thread. I was browsing around the forum and saw a link to this thread and wanted to reply with my thoughts. We have cats and they've been doing some of the things mentioned in this thread. Let me state ahead of time that my cats are very smart and I see how they do with bugs. They'll all group together and watch a certain area and I know they spot a bug. Shortly after one of them will catch the bug and I'll get the bug away from them, kill the bug and flush it. So yeah, I trust them enough to say when they see something they see something. But there's so many times they act like they see something and I just don't see anything. I never see anything come out from that spot, move around that spot, etc.

One of my cats had a health scare when he was smaller and he was meowing up in the air as if somebody or something was talking to him.

We're not cruel to our cats but a lot of the times they will get in a panic at the slightest thing/noise. And tbh that breaks my heart. I don't want my babies to be scared like the way I see them getting scared. I sit with them, talk with them, pet them to try and calm them down and it's still happening. I really would like to be able to see or hear whatever they're seeing or hearing. I think it's something bad whatever it is. I think back to the story I just told about the cat with a health scare and he wasn't acting scared at that time. He was meowing repeatedly as if he was having a pleasant conversation with it.
