    My cats always disappear during the day and come out of nowhere when I or my family says their names. Or the three of them get us when walking up or down the stairs. I swear my female cat Cupcake is a ninja because you just say her name or think about her and she appears out of thin air. Then she disappears again when you are not looking.

    A ghost can disappear from some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time,

    But he can’t disappear from a cat!

    .

    When we first moved into our current home, I would come home from driving the kids to school to find the cat perched at the top of the basement stairs, staring down, agitated, hackles raised, tail fluffed…

    The first time it happened, I hadn’t locked the back door.

    I didn’t know which possibility I preferred; either a thief had gotten in through my carelessness, and was hiding down there, or that ghost I “imagined” I heard on moving-day night wasn’t so imaginary, after all!
