So I got into bed last night, after watching several spooky videos on YouTube. A few minutes later, some mysterious creature jumped up on the bed, and curled up into a ball on my back. Intellectually I knew it was my youngest cat, Kara. However, it felt a lot heavier than Kara, and the way she initially curled up, it felt like she had more legs than cats usually have. I pictured a giant hand pressing against my back, or some large tarantula-cat hybrid.
I started picturing all sorts of weird, demonic animals that could touching me. I kept wanting to reach out and touch it, but I didn't want to get my hand bitten off by demon spawn. But then it occurred to me, so what if this is a demonic spider-cat. It's curled up next to me sleeping. This means it loves me, and I make it feel safe. If it is a demon creature, then all the better, because it's my demon creature. You can't get better protection than your own little monster.
I finally did pet it, and it was, indeed, Kara. Kind of disappointing, to be honest.
