Our daughter JUST let us know that her tabby (formerly one of ours) has been looking up at her ceilings “spacey” over the last 2 days ... Western NY here.
More tragic was that we had called her to let her know that my wife’s cousin’s daughter (K’s 2nd cousin) recently took her own life . The gal was in her 30’s with a history of depression & medication; regrettably, we hadn’t been in touch with the family for many years.
So who knows what these animals really can sense ...
That's a good indication of mouse, squirrels or other varmits up in the attic.
