My cat was spooked at something in my room.
I don't know what it is, so now I'm spooked at what ever is in my room.

Great.

2. Or more likely, an unnoticable draft creating very low frequency sound that the cat is able to hear.

10. Cats don't get spooked by drafts. Hell, they'd be spooked
all the time!

11. Many consider infrasound to be a reason that animals flee the areas of some natural disasters
Not the sole reason, but it's reasonable to assume that a low frequency sound in a house caused by a draft or whatever could spook an animal as well.

16. True. But cats are strange in that their eyes follow invisible
objects all around the room sometimes.

Not like hearing...like actually seeing.

4. Or the cat was just receiving a message from the mother ship.
Cats do weird shit like that...

6. They are intune with an alternate reality, or a part of reality beyond our awareness
one of the cool things I like about cats...

9. oh that really freaks me out too
they get wild-eyed and keep darting glances at certain areas of the room, like they are actually SEEING something we cannot see :o

13. I lived in a haunted house and our cats always gave us a warning when
something would start to happen.

15. Me too. Our cat would just watch and follow as if something invisible was walking through the room.
I really think cats can see "things". The Egyptians maybe knew something about them we don't.

18. The cats would take off and hide.
I believe that cats and dogs see things we can't.

The cats would not go into the haunted bathroom upstair, couldn't make them.

19. I hate it when they do that
And, they always do it at night AND when you're alone.

I swear they do it on purpose, just to torment us!
