My cat does not chase mice or birds...this is kind of a good thing as we have alot of native birds visiting the garden. the mouse thing is not so hot as they think they can live in the house, and the cat agrees with them. he only hunts humans and other cats....oh yeah and invisible things. the other day I watched as he stalked, pounced on and killed something I could not see. I know all cats do this, but he actually came over to me and presented me with the invisible prey and was quite proud of himself. I backed away in feigned disgust to see what he would do, and he picked it upi and put it at my feet after giving whatever it was a quick lick...I hope it wasn't a fairy. Also a few times we've come home late and seen him sitting in the driveway palying with another cat...the other night we found out it was actually a rabbit not a cat, which made sense as he hates other cats.

Cats being cats. I think , if there are other dimensions or what not, that cats are the only ones to see them. And they think WE'RE weird because we don't see what they see.

It's a theory I have.

He is rather cute...he has to be to make up for all the stuff he does that is unendearing ( ie spraying, biting, stealing, attacking anyone wearing shorts challenging me for territory every three month or so etc etc etc) I have to say I agree with the theory that cats can see an extra dimension...I pity the creatures of that dimension as I can't do anything to save them from his wrath.

Well, then it's a theory you share with my dearly-departed mother...and me, when you get right down to it. This was a view she held as far back as I can remember, and was apparently bolstered somewhat by some mythology put forth in Clifford Simak's book, City. She referred to these extra-dimensional wossnames as "cobblies", though I think it's just as likely that they're red Lectoids (LectRoids?) from Planet 10. Any time one of my cats plays with, kills, or simply stares intently at something I can't see, I'm thinkin' cobblies/Lectoids.

It's as good a theory as any I got.

Boris - sounds like your cat has personality...and personality goes a long way. I hope, when you do finally start getting complaints from the local faerie community, that a peaceful resolution can be reached quickly.

I inherited a fixed tom, T.K., from Mom. Even by cat standards this cat was something...special. Was rude and objectionable to the cat I already had (fixed female), and sprayed EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME, 24/7, in stereo. A couple of folks I know who claim genuine Old World cat knowledge told me they didn't know why a fixed male would be doing that in a house with a fixed female. Never did get to the bottom of it, and unfortunately I didn't have to - after about 6 months of this, one day T.K. tried to cross the street one too many times and went to live with Jesus. He was a neat cat in many ways - particularly those ways which didn't involve spraying my dresser and desk - and I miss him...though not as much as I might have otherwise.

I actually agree with you. I've got the same theory - only in mine, "crazy people" are actually seeing those other dimensions as well. It came to me when watching a Buffy ep, where Spike has his soul and is talking to Willow - only no one else but Spike can SEE Willow, so he appears to be carrying on conversations with nobody.

We had a cat that sprayed... he did better when we allowed him access to the outside regularly

Too true, that did help. Though sadly, in T.K's case, it turned out to be a rather final solution...

I think you need to cut off your cat's supply of catnip. Stage an intervention.
