Arthur is freaking me out

He's staring upwards and meowing. I see nothing. Apparently he does.

I heard the hallway floors creaking and I was in the living room. At least twice, last week, all of the kid cats suddenly sat up and stared into the living room.

When I first moved in I had to smudge the bedroom because I felt like something very malevolent was staring at me.

It took 2 smudges to get rid of what ever was dwelling in the bedroom.

...at something he could very obviously see/sense that we could not. It was definitely eerie.

announce that you have Lady Coddington's book of pressed fairies, and would be more than happy to add to the collection.
