spiritual cat

so the story behind the spiritual cat
my aunt went to see a mystic.

skeptics stop reading now, its only going to get worse

said mystic described my dad and mam
and then told her that the cat that frequently visited their house (here)
a brown and black one
(its calico)
was a spiritual cat
and that it was good that the cat visited

the past 2 years ive been living here, this cat has been hanging around
ive come home before, left windows open,
been in bedroom getting changed to go out or whatever,

and you know that feeling, when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up?
cause you're being watched?
turn and scream ahhh cat! on my bed, studying me. like im the intruder
or washing dishes, focused on task, to again get that weird feeling,
jump! cat is on the windowsill staring me down

leave windows open when i can,
hate the idea of breathing in/out same air (it can keep you sick)
so spiritual cat has gotten in the habit of sleeping in my bed at night
which ok at first cause she's one of those cats who just purrs
(why do some stop purring?)
and then does that whole front paws, right-left-right-left thing to you,
like they're trying to pet you back?
i dunno cats that well

but ive had to close my windows cause im pretty sure she brought
me another gift
fleas
last nite you shoulda heard the fit that
she threw when she couldnt get into my room

and only a cat would do this
what dog would ever just wander on into someone else's house,
get up on the bed and take a nap?
where's the loyalty?
hence i want a puppy
plus im either having a serious allergic skin reaction to cat fur in my bed
or she's fleas

oh god scared to use the freakin' apostrophe damn i cant spell
hope i did ok you finnegans wake people
why you would want to try and decipher that book
funny thing is most of us got through dubliners and well that was enough for us dubliners

anyways at the same time, im super superstitious and i dont want to piss off
the spiritual cat, heard weird stories about animals, especially cats
maybe its my grandmama checking up on me
making sure im in bed alone cause god knows theres no ring on my finger
and it is her house, her infant of prague staring me down

cause the cat (i need a name for her, help me) doesnt like other people, wont visit if i've company, and never came here before i moved in,
seriously she did her thing, let herself in one warm september day, and the cousin i was living with the 1st year i was here, freaked out cause apparently he's highly allergic
and he'd never seen the cat before though it obviously
lives nearby like next door

of course for this bizarre belief, i get the piss taken outta me
they laugh, and i have to laugh at myself
we even have a spiritual cat dance, i mean tis a bit ridiculous, i am after all
studying medicine; a discipline about as far as you can get from mumbo jumbo,
well modern western medicine at least,
id be a witch doctor in another time, another place

yet ive been in buildings where theres no 13th floor,
and how do you feel if a black cat crosses your path?
would you walk under a ladder? break a mirror?
live in an appartment with the numbers 666?

maybe theres nothing in it, but
where do these superstitions come from?
and why in this scientific age where we demand our skin cream to have gone through rigorous testing with 93% of women finding a difference,
are they still with us?
sorry my apologies just watched crazy documentary on bbc about the links between science and seances.
did you know one of thomas edison's hopes with the telephone and phonograph, was to be able to communicate with the dead?

rationally i know a cat is just a cat. but i normally hate cats and they sense this and stay away from me. why would a mystic bring up this cat to my aunt? i know the tricks but this kinda thing is so randomn, my mam, my other aunt, or nan, would be like ok mystic full of it, mention of brown n black cat makes no sense
right enough. randomn thoughts.
i really need to go to sleep ack its almost 10am shite
happy friday
