Cats are often associated with the mystical and otherworldly. It's all about the animals' behavior.

It happens that a furry pet sits and stares at one point, but hardly moves. Such behavior can be frightening.

Impressionable people may even decide that their cat has seen a ghost or something else from the other world.

But it is important to remain calm.

The fact is that cats are very sensitive creatures, who also have keen hearing and an excellent sense of smell. All this, combined with hunting instincts, leads to behavior that is difficult to explain.

A pet can smell the smell of tasty food coming from neighbors or notice a small spider and simply watch it. In some cases, an animal can listen to sounds from the street, for example.

If suddenly a cat plays with invisible toys or hisses at invisible enemies, then there is no need to be afraid.

This means that the animal is simply using its senses to the fullest.

Still, a cat can be carried away even by dust particles that fly in the air and are clearly visible in the rays of sunlight.
