Many people have probably encountered this strange situation: a pet sits and warily peers into the void.

If you are prone to mysticism and magical thinking, then this probably scares you.

But there is nothing mystical in the pet’s behavior: everything is much simpler.

Therefore, the "emptiness" can be filled with various creatures that are interesting to the cat. For example, the pet can see a dust mite or a small speck of dust.
