We've only had my cat, Luna, for about six months now ever since we found her as a kitten in the backyard. Due to the general erratic cat behavior and the adolescent need to act the fool it's difficult to tell if she notices anything out of the ordinary around the house. That is until this morning.
Since I work nights and sleep most of the day we really don't have much time for bonding, so that time is usually in the early mornings right after work between 7:30 and 10 when we participate in our ritual belly rubbing/hand mauling. It was around 8:30 and not quite light out we were in the middle of our ritual while sitting in my computer chair when out of the corner of my eye I saw a brief glimpse of a dark shadow go past my door and down the hall. At the same time Luna looked up and started staring in that direction. She was staring so long that I set her on the floor where she ran out into the hall and stood there looking up and down the hallway for about a minute before coming back into the room and jumping back in my lap.
I know it wasn't my parents because my mom is short while the shadow was tall and even though my dad is taller than me this shadow seemed to be floor to ceiling tall. Part of me thought it was passing car lights causing the shadows move or something, but that doesn't really explain Luna's reaction because she wasn't looking when it passed by because her eyes were closed, but she still looked up in that direction at the exact same time I saw the movement, almost like she heard it go by. Another odd thing was when she came back to my lap since usually when her attention to something is broken she goes off to find something else to do, but this time she came right back.
I know this isn't all that exciting, but I just wanted to know what y'all think.
