Your cat's compliance, in whatever nefarious schemes RM and the McD corp. are planning cannot be determined conclusively from her pose.

However, she had better keep those ears primed, and a tight grip on all nine of her lives, because the Office of Homeland Conformity ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Security will be watching.

Her hair appears short, but she's not a Persian cat, or is she?

No I think PCP cat, Momma, is of the Barn yard variety and believe me you, she is one moody little woman.

And that does look like a face with two distict eyes, a hair line, and hair. Very spooky.

I think it's nothing more than a reflection.

I sware to god it is not a digital enhancement or fake. My dad thinks it looks like a man, but definately not me.

Have ever gotten one of those feelings, usually right after the cat looks up at something that isn't there, and feel as if you are being watched?

I do not believe in ghosts or UFO's but damn, this looks to real, to precise, to be an optical illusion, so what is it?

yeah, cats and dogs can do that can't they. and sometimes, a dog who always like everybody doesn't like a certain person instantely. that's also creepy.

while i believe that people have a soul and could walk around after there dead, i also think it's an inkblot.
cats that are looking at something are probably watching a dust mote or a fly to small to see.
ok, i don't know this for sure, but people give off different smells depending on there emotions and cats and dogs can smell this.

so, there's no cause to start thinking spirits yet. but if something does totally creep you out, get rid of it. you know that scene in ghost busters two where the baby carriage is pulled? our house had a bad feeling for weeks after that.

It's an optical illusion.

The human mind craves order. It will find patterns where none exsist and create recognizable pictures from otherwise unrelated dots. Did you see the devil face in the smoke coming from the twin towers? It was a lot more clear of an image then your cat's eye here. So was the Mars face I mentioned before. That one still creeps me out even after I know what it is. Stuff like this happens all the time. It's interesting to look at and talk about, but it's very simple to explain really.
